Eosinophil count

IL18R1 · rs10208293

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0705 lower (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.076); p = 3 × 10−152.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q12.1 — in an intron of IL1RL1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Eosinophil count compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Eosinophil count.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Eosinophil count — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs10208293

What is rs10208293?

rs10208293 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL18R1 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10208293 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 rs10208293 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
