What the study found

Who was studied 84,492 European ancestry cases, 2,149 African American cases, 606 Hispanic cases, 1,239 Japanese ancestry cases, 437,036 European ancestry controls, 6,055 African American controls, 792 Hispanic controls, 3,976 Japanese ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q21.1 — a missense change in TSPAN8.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Asthma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1051334

What is rs1051334?

rs1051334 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TSPAN8 gene. Published research associates it with asthma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1051334 linked to?

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

Does having rs1051334 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 rs1051334 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32296059. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
