Immune reponse to smallpox (secreted IL-2)

RFT1 · rs13088281

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Immune reponse to smallpox (secreted IL-2) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22610502)
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Immune reponse to smallpox (secreted IL-2). (GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22610502)
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Immune reponse to smallpox (secreted IL-2) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22610502)

Questions about rs13088281

What is rs13088281?

rs13088281 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RFT1 gene. Published research associates it with immune reponse to smallpox (secreted il-2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13088281 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 rs13088281 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22610502. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
