Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 14,498 European ancestry cases, 24,091 European ancestry controls; replicated in 14,802 European ancestry cases, 26,703 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Multiple sclerosis (95% confidence interval -); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 83% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q32.3 — between genes, 1.3 kb from LNCARGI.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis. 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 Multiple sclerosis. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Multiple sclerosis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4772201

What is rs4772201?

rs4772201 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR548AN gene. Published research associates it with multiple 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 rs4772201 linked to?

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

Does having rs4772201 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 rs4772201 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:24076602. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
