Serum levels of protein IL5RA

IL5RA · rs340828

What the study found

Who was studied 5,366 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.139 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.17); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p26.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of IL5RA.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein IL5RA. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein IL5RA. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein IL5RA. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs340828

What is rs340828?

rs340828 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL5RA gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein il5ra. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs340828 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 rs340828 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35078996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
