Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.357 higher (95% confidence interval 0.31-0.4); p = 3 × 10−58.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p13.3 — between genes, 0.8 kb from GKN2.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to TFF1 protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to TFF1 protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to TFF1 protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12990985
What is rs12990985?
rs12990985 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GKN2 gene. Published research associates it with tff1 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs12990985 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs12990985 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 rs12990985 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
