Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 201,533 European ancestry cases, 901,637 European ancestry controls, 5,506 East Asian ancestry cases, 126,769 East Asian ancestry controls, 4,149 African or African American cases, 21,448 African or African American controls, 1,087 South Asian ancestry cases, 18,871 South Asian ancestry controls, 842 Hispanic cases, 3,489 Hispanic controls, 722 Admixed ancestry cases, 8,268 Admixed ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.91 times the odds of Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee (95% confidence interval 0.893579861366709-0.936617374309091); p = 1 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p25.3 — between genes, 8.7 kb from LINC01865.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee — 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.

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 compared to the general population.

Questions about rs77165542

What is rs77165542?

rs77165542 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01865 gene. Published research associates it with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs77165542 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 rs77165542 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 rs77165542 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.
