Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 45,734 European ancestry cases, 1,084,159 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Allergic conjunctivitis (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06); p = 2 × 10−10.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q25.1 — in an intron of TNFSF4.
rs6691738 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNFSF4 gene. Published research associates it with allergic conjunctivitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
