What the study found

Who was studied 388 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 55,117 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,952 European ancestry cases, 313,716 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.76 lower (95% confidence interval 1.69-1.83); p = 6 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.31 — in an intron of VWF.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Takes medication for Crohn's disease?. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Takes medication for Crohn's disease?. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Takes medication for Crohn's disease?. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

What is rs550831531?

rs550831531 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VWF gene. Published research associates it with takes medication for 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 rs550831531 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 rs550831531 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 rs550831531 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
