What the study found

Who was studied 56,355 European ancestry cases, 398,413 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.09 higher (95% confidence interval 0.074-0.106); p = 4 × 10−27.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p16.1 — between genes, 13.5 kb from EFEMP1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Diverticular disease compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Diverticular disease.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diverticular disease — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11899380

What is rs11899380?

rs11899380 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EFEMP1 gene. Published research associates it with diverticular disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11899380 linked to?

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

Does having rs11899380 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 rs11899380 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2023, PMID:37492107. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
