TESPA1 · rs62623446

Where this position leads

Condition: Asthma

What the study found

Who was studied 40,544 European ancestry cases, 300,671 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.08 times the odds of Asthma (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.11); p = 2 × 10⁻⁹.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.2 — a missense change in TESPA1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T 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.

Questions about rs62623446

What is rs62623446?

rs62623446 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TESPA1 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 rs62623446 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 rs62623446 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 rs62623446 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2019, PMID:30929738. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
