Who was studied 9,626 European ancestry cases, 685,602 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele carried 1.20 times the odds of Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (95% confidence interval 1.122-1.275); p = 4 × 10−8.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 96% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.3 — in an intron of PTP4A3.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs116877855
What is rs116877855?
rs116877855 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTP4A3 gene. Published research associates it with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs116877855 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs116877855 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 rs116877855 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41213931. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
