What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.412 higher (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.53); p = 2 × 10−12.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q35 — a stop-gain change in OR2A1-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to ARHGEF5 protein levels. 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 ARHGEF5 protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to ARHGEF5 protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs539261878

What is rs539261878?

rs539261878 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OR2A1-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with arhgef5 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs539261878 linked to?

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

Does having rs539261878 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 rs539261878 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
