What the study found

Who was studied 14,802 European and unknown ancestry cases, 26,703 European and unknown ancestry controls; replicated in 32,627 European and unknown ancestry cases, 41,672 European and unknown ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Multiple sclerosis; p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.33 — between genes, 9.8 kb from PTPRK.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs802730

What is rs802730?

rs802730 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THEMIS gene. Published research associates it with multiple sclerosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs802730 linked to?

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

Does having rs802730 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 rs802730 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science 2019, PMID:31604244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
