What the study found

Who was studied 41,926 European ancestry cases, 239,773 European ancestry controls; replicated in 10,365 cases, 16,100 controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.2 — in an intron of DCAF1.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73078636

What is rs73078636?

rs73078636 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VPRBP 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 rs73078636 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 rs73078636 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 rs73078636 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:31361310. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
