Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 22,350 European ancestry cases, 74,823 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.91 times the odds of Rheumatoid arthritis (95% confidence interval 0.87692711386465-0.936253878603912); p = 4 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 61% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.3 — in an intron of GNG4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Rheumatoid arthritis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Rheumatoid arthritis. That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Rheumatoid arthritis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1188620266

What is rs1188620266?

rs1188620266 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNG4 gene. Published research associates it with rheumatoid arthritis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1188620266 linked to?

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

Does having rs1188620266 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 rs1188620266 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:36333501. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
