What the study found

Who was studied 2,696 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 136,842 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls; replicated in 985 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 57,858 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.47 times the odds of Keloid (95% confidence interval 1.349281192-1.605167319); p = 3 × 10−18.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.4 — in an intron of SLC67A1-AS.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs76024540

What is rs76024540?

rs76024540 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SLC67A1 gene. Published research associates it with keloid. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs76024540 linked to?

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

Does having rs76024540 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 rs76024540 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40835838. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
