What the study found

Who was studied 1,288 European ancestry male cases, 6,548 European ancestry male controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 5.68 times the odds of Eosinophilic esophagitis (95% confidence interval 3.14-10.25); p = 9 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p13 — in an intron of URGCP-MRPS24.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Eosinophilic esophagitis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Eosinophilic esophagitis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Eosinophilic esophagitis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs188483654

What is rs188483654?

rs188483654 is a single position in the genome, in or near the URGCP gene. Published research associates it with eosinophilic esophagitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs188483654 linked to?

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

Does having rs188483654 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 rs188483654 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology 2022, PMID:34506852. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
