How common The A allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q33.3 — in an intron of NALF1.
rs11619840 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM155A gene. Published research associates it with diverticular disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Diverticular Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.
