Rheumatism, unspecified and fibrositis (PheCode 729.1)

WWOX · rs181568234

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 452 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,105 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,732 European ancestry cases, 448,852 European ancestry controls, 225 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,586 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.48 lower (95% confidence interval 2.44-2.52); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.1 — in an intron of WWOX.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Rheumatism, unspecified and fibrositis (PheCode 729.1) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Rheumatism, unspecified and fibrositis (PheCode 729.1).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Rheumatism, unspecified and fibrositis (PheCode 729.1) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs181568234

What is rs181568234?

rs181568234 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WWOX gene. Published research associates it with rheumatism, unspecified and fibrositis (phecode 729.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs181568234 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 rs181568234 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
