What the study found

Who was studied 117,130 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.031 lower (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.039); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.2 — between genes, 4.5 kb from FOSL2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever and/or eczema) (age of onset). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever and/or eczema) (age of onset). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever and/or eczema) (age of onset). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7559046

What is rs7559046?

rs7559046 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FOSL2 gene. Published research associates it with allergic disease (asthma, hay fever and/or eczema) (age of onset). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7559046 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 rs7559046 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 rs7559046 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2020, PMID:32603359. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
