A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Asthma — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2020, PMID:32296059)
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Asthma. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2020, PMID:32296059)
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Asthma compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2020, PMID:32296059)

Questions about rs4739738
What is rs4739738?
rs4739738 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZBTB10 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 rs4739738 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 rs4739738 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 rs4739738 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2020, PMID:32296059. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
