Who was studied 388 Korean ancestry cases, 739 Korean ancestry controls; replicated in 417 Korean ancestry cases, 732 Korean ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele carried 1.52 times the odds of Ulcerative colitis (95% confidence interval 1.32-1.74); p = 3 × 10−9.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.1 — in an intron of LOC124903741.
What each result means
C/CTwo 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.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Ulcerative colitis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Ulcerative colitis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs16940202 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IRF8 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 rs16940202 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 rs16940202 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 rs16940202 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Inflamm Bowel Dis 2013, PMID:23511034. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
