Who was studied 12,366 European and unknown ancestry cases, 33,609 European and unknown ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.09 times the odds of Ulcerative colitis (95% confidence interval 1.06–1.13); p = 3 × 10−8.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q12.3 — in an intron of TOM1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Ulcerative colitis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Ulcerative colitis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Ulcerative colitis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs138788
What is rs138788?
rs138788 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TOM1 gene. Published research associates it with ulcerative colitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs138788 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Ulcerative Colitis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs138788 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 rs138788 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28067908. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
