Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−11, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 49,733 European ancestry cases, 963,748 European ancestry controls, 19 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,184 East Asian ancestry controls, 74 African or African American cases, 7,319 African or African American controls, 48 South Asian ancestry cases, 7,921 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement) (95% confidence interval 1.03686347834782-1.06779922362004); p = 9 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — between genes, 94.7 kb from C17orf67.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs227729

What is rs227729?

rs227729 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near C17orf67 gene. Published research associates it with osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs227729 linked to?

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

Does having rs227729 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 rs227729 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2025, PMID:40205036. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
