Irritable bowel syndrome (MTAG)

LRFN5 · rs2121708

What the study found

Who was studied 887,490 European ancestry individuals (MTAG effective sample size boosted by neuroticism, depression and anxiety samples).

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.009 lower (95% confidence interval 0.007-0.011); p = 8 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q21.1 — in an intron of LRFN5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Irritable bowel syndrome (MTAG). 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 Irritable bowel syndrome (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Irritable bowel syndrome (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2121708

What is rs2121708?

rs2121708 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRFN5 gene. Published research associates it with irritable bowel syndrome (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2121708 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 rs2121708 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of translational medicine 2023, PMID:37085903. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
