Where this position leads
Condition: Allergic Sensitization
Strength of the evidence
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−29, with 20 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 5,789 European ancestry cases, 10,056 European ancestry controls; replicated in 6,114 European ancestry cases, 9,920 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.30 times the odds of Allergic sensitization (95% confidence interval 1.21-1.39); p = 1 × 10−14.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of STAT6.

What people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs1059513 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STAT6 gene. Published research associates it with allergic sensitization. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Allergic Sensitization. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include allergies (2 papers), infection and immunity (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
