What the study found

Who was studied 1,022 European ancestry cases, 2,503 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,387 European ancestry cases, 1,115 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.35 times the odds of Ulcerative colitis; p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q15 — in an intron of IFNG-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two 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/G One copy of the version the research linked to Ulcerative colitis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Ulcerative colitis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1558744

What is rs1558744?

rs1558744 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IFNG 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 rs1558744 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 rs1558744 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 rs1558744 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19122664. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
