What the study found
Who was studied 33,262 European ancestry cases, 804,234 European ancestry controls; replicated in 7,267 East Asian ancestry cases, 219,529 East Asian ancestry controls, 2,785 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 3,933 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.491 lower (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.66); p = 4 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q22.1 — between genes, 3.4 kb from HMSD.
rs188720898 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HMSD gene. Published research associates it with atopic dermatitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Atopic Dermatitis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
