Who was studied 26,612 European ancestry cases, 869,454 European ancestry controls, 4,701 cases, 125,923 controls.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 9 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p11.22 — in an intron of LINC02664.

What each result means

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

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

Does having rs1538981 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 rs1538981 come from?
