What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0722 lower (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.092); p = 4 × 10−14.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q22.1 — in an intron of DNAJC13.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-07-09. ClinVar record 1235275 NM_015268.4(DNAJC13):c.5116-203A>G

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78208917

What is rs78208917?

rs78208917 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DNAJC13 gene. Published research associates it with postn 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 rs78208917 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 rs78208917 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 rs78208917 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.
