What the study found

Who was studied 161,228 European ancestry cases, 965,985 European ancestry controls, 5,433 East Asian ancestry cases, 126,769 East Asian ancestry controls, 3,463 African or African American cases, 21,448 African or African American controls, 993 South Asian ancestry cases, 18,871 South Asian ancestry controls, 523 Hispanic cases, 2,903 Hispanic controls, 616 Admixed ancestry cases, 8,268 Admixed ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.97 times the odds of Knee osteoarthritis (95% confidence interval 0.955806473500558-0.974724726151327); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.3 — in an intron of TMED11P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13118508

What is rs13118508?

rs13118508 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMED11P gene. Published research associates it with knee osteoarthritis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs13118508 linked to?

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

Does having rs13118508 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 rs13118508 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2025, PMID:40205036. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
