What the study found

Who was studied 26,279 European ancestry cases, 442,230 European ancestry controls, 2,590 South Asian ancestry cases, 1,720 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.177 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.22); p = 5 × 10−45.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — a synonymous change in VARS2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 20; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 6 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-03. ClinVar record 380163 NM_020442.6(VARS2):c.3033C>T (p.Asp1011=)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Psoriasis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Psoriasis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Psoriasis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1043483

What is rs1043483?

rs1043483 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VARS2 gene. Published research associates it with psoriasis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1043483 linked to?

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

Does having rs1043483 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 rs1043483 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of translational medicine 2025, PMID:39885523. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
