What the study found

Who was studied 62,543 European ancestry individuals (MTAG effective sample size boosted by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis samples).

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.089 higher (95% confidence interval 0.064-0.114); p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 92% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q31.3 — in an intron of HISLA.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17124032

What is rs17124032?

rs17124032 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HISLA gene. Published research associates it with multiple sclerosis (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17124032 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 rs17124032 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 rs17124032 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human reproduction (Oxford, England) 2025, PMID:40262193. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
