Barrett's esophagus or Esophageal adenocarcinoma

MTRNR2L9 · rs2880866

What the study found

Who was studied 6,758 European ancestry male cases, 1,670 European ancestry female cases, 7,489 European ancestry male controls, 6,174 European ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.19 times the odds of Barrett's esophagus or Esophageal adenocarcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.12-1.26); p = 1 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q11.1 — between genes, 139.5 kb from KHDRBS2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2880866

What is rs2880866?

rs2880866 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MTRNR2L9 gene. Published research associates it with barrett's esophagus or esophageal adenocarcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2880866 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 rs2880866 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Gastroenterology 2020, PMID:32918910. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
