What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Systemic sclerosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Systemic sclerosis.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Systemic sclerosis compared to the general population.

Questions about rs36073657

What is rs36073657?

rs36073657 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRF5 gene. Published research associates it with systemic sclerosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs36073657 linked to?

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

Does having rs36073657 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 rs36073657 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:31672989. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
