Irritable bowel syndrome (MTAG)

near CTAGE16P · rs9597797

What the study found

Who was studied 887,490 European ancestry individuals (MTAG effective sample size boosted by neuroticism, depression and anxiety samples).

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.01 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0061-0.0139); p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q21.1 — between genes, 78.6 kb from CTAGE16P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9597797

What is rs9597797?

rs9597797 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CTAGE16P gene. Published research associates it with irritable bowel syndrome (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9597797 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 rs9597797 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of translational medicine 2023, PMID:37085903. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
