MIR5708 · rs2221641

Where this position leads

Condition: Asthma

What the study found

Who was studied 40,544 European ancestry cases, 300,671 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Asthma (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.09); p = 3 × 10⁻²⁴.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q21.13 — between genes, 23 kb from RNU6-1213P.

What each result means

C/C 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.

C/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 rs2221641

What is rs2221641?

rs2221641 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR5708 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 rs2221641 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 rs2221641 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 rs2221641 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2019, PMID:30929738. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
