interferon-related traits

IFNAR2 · rs73360220

What the study found

Who was studied 303 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.11 — in an intron of IFNAR2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to interferon-related traits. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to interferon-related traits. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to interferon-related traits. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs73360220

What is rs73360220?

rs73360220 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IFNAR2 gene. Published research associates it with interferon-related traits. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73360220 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 rs73360220 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2020, PMID:33104735. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
