What the study found

Who was studied 27,444 British ancestry cases, 382,284 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00662 higher; p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — in an intron of ELN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3823878

What is rs3823878?

rs3823878 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELN gene. Published research associates it with diverticular disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3823878 linked to?

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

Does having rs3823878 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 rs3823878 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30177863. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
