Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 2,935 Qatari ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.479 lower (95% confidence interval 0.41-0.55); p = 5 × 10⁻³⁸.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q12.1 — between genes, 17.6 kb from IL1RL1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of interleukin-18 receptor 1 levels — 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 interleukin-18 receptor 1 levels.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of interleukin-18 receptor 1 levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12996104

What is rs12996104?

rs12996104 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IL1RL1 gene. Published research associates it with interleukin-18 receptor 1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12996104 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 rs12996104 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2023, PMID:36168886. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
