Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.872 higher (95% confidence interval 0.77-0.98); p = 4 × 10−64.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q35 — between genes, 0.9 kb from CXCR1.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to CXCL8 protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to CXCL8 protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to CXCL8 protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs16858768
What is rs16858768?
rs16858768 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CXCR1 gene. Published research associates it with cxcl8 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs16858768 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs16858768 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 rs16858768 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
