What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Crohn's disease — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2007, PMID:17435756)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Crohn's disease. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2007, PMID:17435756)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Crohn's disease compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2007, PMID:17435756)

Questions about rs2241880

What is rs2241880?

rs2241880 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATG16L1 gene. Published research associates it with crohn's disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2241880 linked to?

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

Does having rs2241880 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 rs2241880 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2007, PMID:17435756. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
