G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Itch intensity from mosquito bite — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Itch intensity from mosquito bite.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Itch intensity from mosquito bite compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6673928
What is rs6673928?
rs6673928 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAPKAPK2 gene. Published research associates it with itch intensity from mosquito bite. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6673928 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Mosquito Bite Reaction. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6673928 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 rs6673928 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28199695. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
