What the study found

Who was studied 12,366 European and unknown ancestry cases, 33,609 European and unknown ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.09 times the odds of Ulcerative colitis (95% confidence interval 1.06–1.13); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q32 — in an intron of CAMK2A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17656349

What is rs17656349?

rs17656349 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC6A7 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 rs17656349 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 rs17656349 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 rs17656349 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28067908. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
