What the study found

Who was studied 1,930 European ancestry cases, 13,634 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 5.78 times the odds of Eosinophilic esophagitis (95% confidence interval 3.12-10.69); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.2 — between genes, 22.8 kb from GALNT1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Eosinophilic esophagitis. 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 Eosinophilic esophagitis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Eosinophilic esophagitis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs534845465

What is rs534845465?

rs534845465 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GALNT1 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophilic esophagitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs534845465 linked to?

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

Does having rs534845465 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 rs534845465 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology 2022, PMID:34506852. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
