Condition: Asthma

What the study found

Who was studied 139 Middle Eastern ancestry cases, 1,434 Middle Eastern ancestry controls, 4,069 Admixed American ancestry cases, 14,104 Admixed American ancestry controls, 4,015 South Asian ancestry cases, 27,091 South Asian ancestry controls, 5,051 African ancestry cases, 27,607 African ancestry controls, 18,549 East Asian ancestry cases, 322,655 East Asian ancestry controls, 121,940 European ancestry cases, 1,254,131 European ancestry controls; replicated in 180 Admixed American ancestry cases, 1,325 Admixed American ancestry controls, 2,455 African ancestry cases, 7,542 African ancestry controls, 1,375 Middle Eastern ancestry cases, 12,684 Middle Eastern ancestry controls, 5,981 European ancestry cases, 42,054 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0694 lower (95% confidence interval 0.054-0.085); p = 4 × 10⁻¹⁹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.2 — in an intron of CD28.

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 rs4673259

What is rs4673259?

rs4673259 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CD28 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 rs4673259 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 rs4673259 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 rs4673259 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2022, PMID:36777996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
