Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Self-reported allergy compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Self-reported allergy.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Self-reported allergy — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs17388568

What is rs17388568?

rs17388568 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADAD1 gene. Published research associates it with self-reported allergy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs17388568?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include gut and food intolerance (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs17388568 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 rs17388568 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23817569. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
