near CHSY3 · rs971891

Where this position leads

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Itch intensity from mosquito bite — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Itch intensity from mosquito bite.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Itch intensity from mosquito bite compared to the general population.

Questions about rs971891

What is rs971891?

rs971891 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CHSY3 gene. Published research associates it with itch intensity from mosquito bite. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs971891 linked to?

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

Does having rs971891 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 rs971891 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28199695. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
