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 1,523 European ancestry female individuals; replicated in 435 European ancestry female individuals.
The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−8.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.1 — in an intron of IL18.
What people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs1834481 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCO2 gene. Published research associates it with interleukin-18 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (2 papers), depression and stress (1 papers), heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
