empty rs13243243: what the research says
This variant is associated with COPD and asthma risk and shows evidence of potential fitness advantages in multiomic functional annotations.
What each genotype means
Typical risk profile
This genotype represents the most common form of this variant in many populations. Current research indicates that while this variant is associated with COPD and asthma risk, the specific impact of this genotype remains subject to ongoing study and may vary significantly based on individual ancestry and environmental factors.
This is the most frequently observed genotype in many global populations, though exact frequencies vary by ancestry.
Variant risk profile
Carrying one copy of the variant allele may be associated with differences in COPD and asthma susceptibility compared to the common genotype. Because the evidence for this association is moderate and potentially influenced by other genetic or environmental factors, you should discuss any respiratory concerns with your healthcare provider.
This heterozygous genotype is found at varying frequencies across different ancestral groups, often appearing in a significant minority of the population.
Increased risk profile
This genotype is associated with the variant allele in both copies of your DNA. Research suggests this may correlate with altered risk for COPD and asthma, though the clinical significance is not definitive and depends on your overall health history. Please consult with a clinician to interpret these findings in the context of your personal respiratory health.
This homozygous genotype is generally less common than the AA or AG genotypes, with frequency varying notably by ancestry.
