Questions about rs9988642

What is rs9988642?

rs9988642 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL23R gene. Published research associates it with psoriasis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9988642 linked to?

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

Does having rs9988642 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 rs9988642 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:23143594. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
