Who was studied 1,678 European ancestry cases, 456,942 European ancestry controls, 2,809 East Asian ancestry cases, 172,656 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.235 higher (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.28); p = 4 × 10−26.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.2 — in an intron of CTLA4.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Graves' disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Graves' disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Graves' disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs231779 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTLA4 gene. Published research associates it with graves' 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 rs231779 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Graves' Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs231779 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 rs231779 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
