Barrett's esophagus

near RNU6-281P · rs2597301

What the study found

Who was studied 13,358 European ancestry cases, 43,071 European ancestry controls; replicated in 24,099 cases, 1,484,025 controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.119 higher; p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p13 — between genes, 51.9 kb from RNU6-281P.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Barrett's esophagus. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Barrett's esophagus. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Barrett's esophagus. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2597301

What is rs2597301?

rs2597301 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-281P gene. Published research associates it with barrett's esophagus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2597301 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 rs2597301 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Gut 2022, PMID:34187846. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
