What the study found

Who was studied 1,812 European ancestry individuals.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p26.3 — between genes, 46.1 kb from CNTN6.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Gut microbiota (bacterial taxa) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Gut microbiota (bacterial taxa).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Gut microbiota (bacterial taxa) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11915634

What is rs11915634?

rs11915634 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CNTN6 gene. Published research associates it with gut microbiota (bacterial taxa). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11915634 linked to?

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

Does having rs11915634 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 rs11915634 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2016, PMID:27723756. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
