Where this position leads

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mosquito bite size — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mosquito bite size.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mosquito bite size compared to the general population.

Questions about rs736801

What is rs736801?

rs736801 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRF1 gene. Published research associates it with mosquito bite size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs736801 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 rs736801 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 rs736801 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.
