What the study found

Who was studied 16,247 European ancestry cases, 346,486 European ancestry controls, 52,942 cases, 355,713 controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Asthma (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06); p = 7 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.1 — in an intron of RAD51B.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Asthma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2180769

What is rs2180769?

rs2180769 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAD51B gene. Published research associates it with asthma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2180769 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Asthma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2180769 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 rs2180769 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:31959851. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
