What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.197 lower (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.26); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.33 — between genes, 6.1 kb from WFIKKN2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to WFIKKN2 protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to WFIKKN2 protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to WFIKKN2 protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs76863085

What is rs76863085?

rs76863085 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near WFIKKN2 gene. Published research associates it with wfikkn2 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs76863085 linked to?

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

Does having rs76863085 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 rs76863085 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
