Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 49,733 European ancestry cases, 963,748 European ancestry controls, 19 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,184 East Asian ancestry controls, 74 African or African American cases, 7,319 African or African American controls, 48 South Asian ancestry cases, 7,921 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.18 times the odds of Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement) (95% confidence interval 1.13370236848156-1.22471882960707); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁶.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p12 — between genes, 38.8 kb from SPAG17.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs79514988

What is rs79514988?

rs79514988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SPAG17 gene. Published research associates it with osteoarthritis (with total hip replacement). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs79514988 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 rs79514988 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 rs79514988 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.
