What the study found

Who was studied 26,279 European ancestry cases, 442,230 European ancestry controls, 2,590 South Asian ancestry cases, 1,720 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.241 lower (95% confidence interval 0.22-0.27); p = 3 × 10−38.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 1.9 kb from LINC02571.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2524162

What is rs2524162?

rs2524162 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02571 gene. Published research associates it with psoriasis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2524162 linked to?

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

Does having rs2524162 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 rs2524162 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of translational medicine 2025, PMID:39885523. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
