What the study found

Who was studied 180,129 European ancestry cases, 180,709 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Allergic disease (asthma, hay fever or eczema) (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.05); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — in an intron of POLR1HASP.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9259819

What is rs9259819?

rs9259819 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-J gene. Published research associates it with allergic disease (asthma, hay fever or eczema). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9259819 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 rs9259819 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 rs9259819 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:29083406. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
