Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement)

near NEK4P1 · rs11911487

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 76,604 European ancestry cases, 771,801 European ancestry controls, 43 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,184 East Asian ancestry controls, 247 African or African American cases, 7,319 African or African American controls, 298 South Asian ancestry cases, 7,921 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.95 times the odds of Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement) (95% confidence interval 0.936194749164921-0.961108242383674); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁵.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q21.1 — between genes, 192.7 kb from NEK4P1.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11911487

What is rs11911487?

rs11911487 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NEK4P1 gene. Published research associates it with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11911487 linked to?

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

Does having rs11911487 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 rs11911487 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2025, PMID:40205036. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
