What the study found

Who was studied 180,129 European ancestry cases, 180,709 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever or eczema) (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.06); p = 3 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.11 — in an intron of HDAC7.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever or eczema). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever or eczema). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever or eczema). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs55726902

What is rs55726902?

rs55726902 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HDAC7 gene. Published research associates it with allergic disease (asthma, hay fever or eczema). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs55726902 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 rs55726902 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 rs55726902 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:29083406. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
