Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied up to 14,361 European ancestry cases, up to 42,923 European ancestry controls, up to 4,873 East Asian ancestry cases, up to 17,642 East Asian ancestry controls; replicated in up to 3,775 European ancestry cases, up to 5,801 European ancestry controls, up to 6,871 East Asian ancestry cases, up to 6,392 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Rheumatoid arthritis (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.14); p = 4 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — in an intron of ATG5.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Rheumatoid arthritis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Rheumatoid arthritis. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Rheumatoid arthritis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9372120

What is rs9372120?

rs9372120 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATG5 gene. Published research associates it with rheumatoid arthritis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9372120 linked to?

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

Does having rs9372120 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 rs9372120 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2013, PMID:24390342. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
