What the study found

Who was studied 7,554 European ancestry cases, 1,367,006 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.54 times the odds of Sarcoidosis (95% confidence interval 1.35-1.75); p = 5 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q11.2 — between genes, 8.1 kb from ARID5A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs546039326

What is rs546039326?

rs546039326 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ARID5A gene. Published research associates it with sarcoidosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs546039326 linked to?

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

Does having rs546039326 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 rs546039326 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40075078. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
