Severe bacterial meningitis

UBE2U · rs12081070

What the study found

Who was studied 277 European and unknown ancestry cases, 4,836 European and unknown ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.3 — in an intron of UBE2U.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Severe bacterial meningitis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Severe bacterial meningitis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Severe bacterial meningitis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12081070

What is rs12081070?

rs12081070 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UBE2U gene. Published research associates it with severe bacterial meningitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12081070 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 rs12081070 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31092817. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
