Where this position leads
Condition: Crohn's Disease
Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.
What the study found
Who was studied 946 cases, 977 controls; replicated in 530 trios, 353 cases, 207 controls.
The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.45 times the odds of Crohn's disease (95% confidence interval 1.27-1.64); p = 1 × 10−13.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — a missense change in ATG16L1.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
What people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
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.
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.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include infection and immunity (3 papers), liver (3 papers), gut and food intolerance (2 papers), blood sugar and insulin (2 papers), allergies (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
