Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 33,262 European ancestry cases, 804,234 European ancestry controls; replicated in 7,267 East Asian ancestry cases, 219,529 East Asian ancestry controls, 2,785 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 3,933 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0658 higher (95% confidence interval 0.046-0.086); p = 7 × 10⁻¹¹.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — a missense change in SLC2A4RG.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Atopic dermatitis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Atopic dermatitis.

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

Questions about rs8957

What is rs8957?

rs8957 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC2A4RG gene. Published research associates it with atopic dermatitis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8957 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Atopic Dermatitis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs8957 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 rs8957 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of investigative dermatology 2022, PMID:35577104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
