Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 6,687 European ancestry cases, 19,718 European ancestry controls; replicated in 9,628 European ancestry cases, 12,917 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.19 times the odds of Ulcerative colitis (95% confidence interval 1.19-1.24); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁶.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q15 — in an intron of IFNG-AS1.

What each result means

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

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

Source

Meta-analysis identifies 29 additional ulcerative colitis risk loci, increasing the number of confirmed associations to 47

Questions about rs7134599

What is rs7134599?

rs7134599 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IFNG gene. Published research associates it with ulcerative colitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7134599 linked to?

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

Does having rs7134599 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 rs7134599 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21297633. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
