Atopic march

SLC6A15 · rs993226

What the study found

Who was studied 1,151 European ancestry early-onset eczema and childhood asthma cases, 10,030 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,277 European ancestry early-onset eczema and childhood asthma cases, 7,004 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.58 times the odds of Atopic march (95% confidence interval 1.35-1.84); p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q21.31 — inside LOC105369875.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Atopic march. 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 Atopic march. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Atopic march. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs993226

What is rs993226?

rs993226 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC6A15 gene. Published research associates it with atopic march. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs993226 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 rs993226 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26542096. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
