What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.104 higher (95% confidence interval 0.075-0.132); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — between genes, 7.1 kb from VPS51P14.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to DEFB104A or DEFB104B protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to DEFB104A or DEFB104B protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to DEFB104A or DEFB104B protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs117880470

What is rs117880470?

rs117880470 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near VPS51P14 gene. Published research associates it with defb104a or defb104b protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs117880470 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs117880470 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 rs117880470 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
