near RDH14 · rs13008882

What the study found

Who was studied 393,161 European ancestry individuals, 4,227 African ancestry individuals, 1,564 East Asian ancestry individuals, 4,270 South Asian ancestry individuals, 2,798 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.39 z score lower; p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.2 — between genes, 36.5 kb from RDH14.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13008882

What is rs13008882?

rs13008882 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RDH14 gene. Published research associates it with peak expiratory flow. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13008882 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 rs13008882 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36914875. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
