Collagenous colitis

MICA-AS1 · rs2844531

What the study found

Who was studied 1,498 European ancestry cases, 13,487 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 2.00 times the odds of Collagenous colitis (95% confidence interval 1.8-2.2); p = 2 × 10−32.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of MICA-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2844531

What is rs2844531?

rs2844531 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MICA-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with collagenous colitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2844531 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 rs2844531 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of Crohn's & colitis 2024, PMID:37768647. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
