What the study found

Who was studied 9,209 European ancestry cases, 47,428 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 6 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — in an intron of HLA-DQA1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Asthma (additive model). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Asthma (additive model). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Asthma (additive model). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9272521

What is rs9272521?

rs9272521 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-DQA1 gene. Published research associates it with asthma (additive model). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9272521 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 rs9272521 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 rs9272521 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33893285. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
