What the study found

Who was studied 7,045 European ancestry cases, 449,282 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.11 times the odds of Inflammatory bowel disease; p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 59% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.1 — between genes, 10.2 kb from DLD.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6961243

What is rs6961243?

rs6961243 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DLD gene. Published research associates it with inflammatory bowel 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 rs6961243 linked to?

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

Does having rs6961243 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 rs6961243 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33608531. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
