Condition: Inguinal Hernia
What the study found
Who was studied 32,089 European, African, Asian, Hispanic/Latin American or mixed ancestry male cases, 196,784 European, African, Asian, Hispanic/Latin American or mixed ancestry male controls.
The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−22.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p12 — between genes, 144.2 kb from MAP2K4.
rs12453693 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MAP2K4 gene. Published research associates it with inguinal hernia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Inguinal Hernia. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
