Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q32 — in an intron of KIAA1958.
rs59289606 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KIAA1958 gene. Published research associates it with self-reported childhood asthma in adult smokers. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Asthma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
