What the study found

Who was studied 228 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,622 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 3,087 European ancestry cases, 447,533 European ancestry controls, 408 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,421 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.437 higher (95% confidence interval 0.25-0.62); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 89% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.2 — in an intron of IFIH1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Psoriatic arthropathy (PheCode 696.42). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Psoriatic arthropathy (PheCode 696.42). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Psoriatic arthropathy (PheCode 696.42). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs73971815

What is rs73971815?

rs73971815 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IFIH1 gene. Published research associates it with psoriatic arthropathy (phecode 696.42). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73971815 linked to?

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

Does having rs73971815 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 rs73971815 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
