Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 12 Vis (founder/genetic isolate) cases, 16 Korculan (founder/genetic isolate) cases, 6 Split cases, 948 Vis (founder/genetic isolate) controls, 2,682 Korculan (founder/genetic isolate) controls, 960 Split controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.06 times the odds of Tuberculosis (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.07); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁰.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q12.3 — between genes, 4.4 kb from NLN.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Tuberculosis. 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 Tuberculosis. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Tuberculosis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs570545343

What is rs570545343?

rs570545343 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NLN gene. Published research associates it with tuberculosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs570545343 linked to?

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

Does having rs570545343 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 rs570545343 come from?

GWAS Catalog, International journal of molecular sciences 2023, PMID:37108169. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
