What the research says the GWAS identified 31 regions linked to methotrexate response including three genes ZMIZ1 TGIF1 CFTR; rs10956445 lies within a region of interest but no specific trait association is reported [24709693].

Reported associations

  • methotrexate response: the variant is in a GWAS region for methotrexate response with effect size 0.07 p=1e-9 [24709693]

Evidence quality the study used 759 individuals and reported p-values below 0.001 indicating strong statistical significance [24709693].
