WAKMAR2 · rs9494883
Where this position leads
Condition: Hay Fever And/or Eczema
What the study found
Who was studied 84,034 European ancestry cases, 239,773 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.12 times the odds of Hay fever and/or eczema (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.16); p = 1 × 10−10.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.3 — in an intron of WAKMAR2.
rs9494883 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WAKMAR2 gene. Published research associates it with hay fever and/or eczema. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Hay Fever And/or Eczema. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
