Interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha levels

IL5RA · rs3806680

What the study found

Who was studied 2,935 Qatari ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.342 lower (95% confidence interval 0.28-0.4); p = 6 × 10−31.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p26.2 — inside IL5RA.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3806680

What is rs3806680?

rs3806680 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL5RA gene. Published research associates it with interleukin-5 receptor subunit alpha levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3806680 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 rs3806680 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2023, PMID:36168886. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
