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 the study found

Who was studied 2,524 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.414 higher (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.53); p = 1 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q11.2 — a synonymous change in IL31RA.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for IL31RA-related disorder; no assertion criteria provided (0 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2019-10-28. ClinVar record 3037234 NM_139017.7(IL31RA):c.1764C>T (p.Thr588=)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein IL31RA levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein IL31RA levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein IL31RA levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17701253

What is rs17701253?

rs17701253 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL31RA gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid protein il31ra levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17701253 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 rs17701253 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science translational medicine 2026, PMID:42054495. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
