What the study found

Who was studied 8,255 European ancestry cases, 409,001 European ancestry controls, 5,348 East Asian ancestry cases, 173,268 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.146 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.19); p = 1 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — in an intron of NFKBIE.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs28362859

What is rs28362859?

rs28362859 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFKBIE gene. Published research associates it with rheumatoid arthritis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs28362859 linked to?

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

Does having rs28362859 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 rs28362859 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.
