Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 13,047 European ancestry cases, 262,499 European ancestry controls; replicated in 4,450 European ancestry cases, 87,398 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10⁻²⁹.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p16.1 — in an intron of MIR217HG.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Inguinal hernia — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Inguinal hernia.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Inguinal hernia compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6747490

What is rs6747490?

rs6747490 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR217HG gene. Published research associates it with inguinal hernia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6747490 linked to?

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

Does having rs6747490 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 rs6747490 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery 2022, PMID:34382107. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
