Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 9,772 European ancestry cases, 16,849 European ancestry controls; replicated in 4,218 European ancestry cases, 7,296 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.14 times the odds of Multiple sclerosis (95% confidence interval 1.12-1.15); p = 6 × 10⁻¹³.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.3 — between genes, 12 kb from IL22RA2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17066096

What is rs17066096?

rs17066096 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL22RA2 gene. Published research associates it with multiple sclerosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17066096 linked to?

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

Does having rs17066096 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 rs17066096 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2011, PMID:21833088. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
