COL6A2 · rs73382475

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 76,604 European ancestry cases, 771,801 European ancestry controls, 43 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,184 East Asian ancestry controls, 247 African or African American cases, 7,319 African or African American controls, 298 South Asian ancestry cases, 7,921 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.94 times the odds of Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement) (95% confidence interval 0.916145923376061-0.954640567935301); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of COL6A2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement).

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs73382475

What is rs73382475?

rs73382475 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL6A2 gene. Published research associates it with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (with total joint replacement). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73382475 linked to?

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

Does having rs73382475 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 rs73382475 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2025, PMID:40205036. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
