What the study found

Who was studied 16,491 European ancestry cases, 1,202,106 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.16 higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.2); p = 4 × 10−16.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12788170

What is rs12788170?

rs12788170 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DRD4 gene. Published research associates it with systemic lupus erythematosus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12788170 linked to?

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

Does having rs12788170 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 rs12788170 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Mammalian genome : official journal of the International Mammalian Genome Society 2026, PMID:42581184. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
