Where this position leads

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mosquito bite size — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mosquito bite size.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mosquito bite size compared to the general population.

Questions about rs112637405

What is rs112637405?

rs112637405 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C4orf33 gene. Published research associates it with mosquito bite size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs112637405 linked to?

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

Does having rs112637405 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 rs112637405 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28199695. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
