What the study found

Who was studied 536 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 120,708 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,468 European ancestry cases, 445,620 European ancestry controls, 278 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,249 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.358 higher (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.43); p = 3 × 10−43.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — in an intron of RNF144B.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Chondrocalcinosis (PheCode 274.21). 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 Chondrocalcinosis (PheCode 274.21). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Chondrocalcinosis (PheCode 274.21). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1886248

What is rs1886248?

rs1886248 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RNF144B gene. Published research associates it with chondrocalcinosis (phecode 274.21). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1886248 linked to?

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

Does having rs1886248 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 rs1886248 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.
