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

Questions about rs45471499
What is rs45471499?
rs45471499 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGHM 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 rs45471499 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 rs45471499 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 rs45471499 come from?
GWAS Catalog, J Invest Dermatol 2020, PMID:33069728. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
