Where this position leads
Condition: Hidradenitis Suppurativa
What the study found
Who was studied 2,864 European ancestry cases, 1,315,903 European ancestry controls, 1,077 African ancestry cases, 119,700 African ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.87 times the odds of Hidradenitis suppurativa (95% confidence interval 1.5-2.33); p = 2 × 10−8.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.31 — in an intron of MOK.
rs116212806 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MOK gene. Published research associates it with hidradenitis suppurativa. 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 Hidradenitis Suppurativa. 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.
