A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Systemic lupus erythematosus compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Systemic lupus erythematosus.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Systemic lupus erythematosus — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4830478
What is rs4830478?
rs4830478 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TLR8 gene. Published research associates it with systemic lupus erythematosus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs4830478 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs4830478 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 rs4830478 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Ann Rheum Dis 2020, PMID:33272962. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
