Chronic back pain

SOX5 · rs12310519

What the study found

Who was studied 29,531 European ancestry cases, 128,494 European ancestry controls; replicated in 50,915 British ancestry cases, 232,837 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Chronic back pain (95% confidence interval 1.05-1.09); p = 5 × 10−19.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.1 — in an intron of SOX5.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Chronic back pain — 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 Chronic back pain.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Chronic back pain compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12310519

What is rs12310519?

rs12310519 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SOX5 gene. Published research associates it with chronic back pain. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12310519 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 rs12310519 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2018, PMID:30261039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
