What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Atopic dermatitis — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26482879)
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Atopic dermatitis. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26482879)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Atopic dermatitis compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26482879)

Questions about rs6602364

What is rs6602364?

rs6602364 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL15RA gene. Published research associates it with atopic dermatitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6602364 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 rs6602364 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26482879. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
