Key takeaways This variant is linked to higher CD8A levels in a small study. It may affect expression in skin and esophagus tissue. The evidence comes from a GWAS catalog association.

What the research says This variant is associated with higher CD8A levels in individuals studied [PMID 38326779]. The association was observed across a sample of about 318 participants [PMID 38326779].

Reported associations CD8A: the variant is linked to higher protein levels with a reported effect size of 4.53 p=6e-6 in about 318 individuals [PMID 38326779].

Evidence quality The GWAS catalog association is based on a single study of 318 participants with a small effect size and highly significant p-value; no other studies are provided so the evidence cannot be considered replicated [PMID 38326779].
