Who was studied 5,201 European ancestry cases, 9,066 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele carried 1.40 times the odds of Systemic lupus erythematosus; p = 7 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.1 — in an intron of VDAC1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Systemic lupus erythematosus. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Systemic lupus erythematosus. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Systemic lupus erythematosus. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4388254
What is rs4388254?
rs4388254 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TCF7 gene. Published research associates it with systemic lupus erythematosus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs4388254 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs4388254 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 rs4388254 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26502338. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
