What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Asthma (childhood onset) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2012, PMID:22560479)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Asthma (childhood onset). (GWAS Catalog, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2012, PMID:22560479)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Asthma (childhood onset) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2012, PMID:22560479)

Questions about rs9815663

What is rs9815663?

rs9815663 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL5RA gene. Published research associates it with asthma (childhood onset). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9815663 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 rs9815663 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 rs9815663 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2012, PMID:22560479. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
