What the study found

Who was studied 594 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 120,387 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,163 European ancestry cases, 446,114 European ancestry controls, 255 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,281 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.59 lower (95% confidence interval 2.55-2.63); p = 4 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q24.3 — in an intron of KCNJ5-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hemorrhage from gastrointestinal ulcer (PheCode 531.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Hemorrhage from gastrointestinal ulcer (PheCode 531.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Hemorrhage from gastrointestinal ulcer (PheCode 531.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs183178550

What is rs183178550?

rs183178550 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNJ5-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with hemorrhage from gastrointestinal ulcer (phecode 531.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs183178550 linked to?

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

Does having rs183178550 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 rs183178550 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.
