Food allergy

SERPINB7 · rs12964116

What the study found

Who was studied 497 European ancestry cases, 2,387 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,050 European ancestry cases, 2,510 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.90 times the odds of Food allergy (95% confidence interval -); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.33 — in an intron of SERPINB7.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12964116

What is rs12964116?

rs12964116 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SERPINB7 gene. Published research associates it with food allergy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12964116 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 rs12964116 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:29051540. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
