FTCD · rs61735841

What the study found

Who was studied 234 European ancestry cases, 5,606 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.03 times the odds of Mastocytosis (95% confidence interval -1.93819-1.98965); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.3 — a missense change in FTCD.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs61735841

What is rs61735841?

rs61735841 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FTCD gene. Published research associates it with mastocytosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61735841 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 rs61735841 come from?

GWAS Catalog, International journal of molecular sciences 2020, PMID:32752121. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
