What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Crohn's disease — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21102463)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Crohn's disease. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21102463)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Crohn's disease compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21102463)

Questions about rs4902642

What is rs4902642?

rs4902642 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFP36L1 gene. Published research associates it with crohn's 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 rs4902642 linked to?

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

Does having rs4902642 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 rs4902642 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21102463. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
