Mouth ulcers

near ZPBP2 · rs12232497

What the study found

Who was studied 47,079 British or unknown ancestry cases, 414,027 British or unknown ancestry controls; replicated in 98,298 cases, 247,446 controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Mouth ulcers (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.04); p = 4 × 10−17.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.1 — between genes, 6 kb from ZPBP2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12232497

What is rs12232497?

rs12232497 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZPBP2 gene. Published research associates it with mouth ulcers. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12232497 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 rs12232497 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30837455. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
