Dermatitis due to solar radiation (PheCode 938)

near MDFIC · rs116341238

What the study found

Who was studied 416 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 120,480 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 12,356 European ancestry cases, 418,622 European ancestry controls, 553 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 58,076 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.49 lower (95% confidence interval 1.41-1.57); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.1 — between genes, 29.5 kb from MDFIC.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Dermatitis due to solar radiation (PheCode 938). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Dermatitis due to solar radiation (PheCode 938). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Dermatitis due to solar radiation (PheCode 938). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs116341238

What is rs116341238?

rs116341238 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MDFIC gene. Published research associates it with dermatitis due to solar radiation (phecode 938). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs116341238 mean I will get this?

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.

Where does the information about rs116341238 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
