ARL17B · rs2732706

What the study found

Who was studied 167,875 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.024 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.03); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.31 — in an intron of ARL17B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2732706

What is rs2732706?

rs2732706 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARL17B gene. Published research associates it with stool frequency. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2732706 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 rs2732706 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2021, PMID:34957435. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
