What the study found

Who was studied 95,395 European ancestry cases, 1,011,691 European ancestry controls, 65 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,619 East Asian ancestry controls, 1,357 African or African American cases, 21,394 African or African American controls, 76 South Asian ancestry cases, 7,921 South Asian ancestry controls, 288 Hispanic cases, 3,486 Hispanic controls, 147 Admixed ancestry cases, 8,268 Admixed ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.03 times the odds of Osteoarthritis (hip) (95% confidence interval 1.02338134707896-1.0448651240583); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.1 — between genes, 0.8 kb from ST3GAL2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8062183

What is rs8062183?

rs8062183 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ST3GAL2 gene. Published research associates it with osteoarthritis (hip). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8062183 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 rs8062183 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 rs8062183 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.
