Where this position leads

Condition: Inguinal Hernia

rs2301250 Condition: Inguinal Hernia Inguinal Hernia Condition rs2301250 rs2301250 WT1-AS

What the study found

Who was studied 13,047 European ancestry cases, 262,499 European ancestry controls; replicated in 4,450 European ancestry cases, 87,398 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−21.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 64% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p13 — in an intron of WT1-AS.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Inguinal hernia — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Inguinal hernia.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Inguinal hernia compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2301250

What is rs2301250?

rs2301250 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WT1-AS gene. Published research associates it with inguinal hernia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2301250 linked to?

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

Does having rs2301250 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 rs2301250 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery 2022, PMID:34382107. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
