Mouth ulcers

near UQCRC2P1 · rs4683205

What the study found

Who was studied 47,079 British or unknown ancestry cases, 414,027 British or unknown ancestry controls; replicated in 98,298 cases, 247,446 controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Mouth ulcers (95% confidence interval 1.09-1.11); p = 5 × 10−106.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — between genes, 17.4 kb from UQCRC2P1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Mouth ulcers. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mouth ulcers. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mouth ulcers. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4683205

What is rs4683205?

rs4683205 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near UQCRC2P1 gene. Published research associates it with mouth ulcers. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4683205 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 rs4683205 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30837455. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
