HLA-DOB · rs11244

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sarcoidosis (Lofgren's syndrome vs non-Lofgren's syndrome) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sarcoidosis (Lofgren's syndrome vs non-Lofgren's syndrome).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sarcoidosis (Lofgren's syndrome vs non-Lofgren's syndrome) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11244

What is rs11244?

rs11244 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-DOB gene. Published research associates it with sarcoidosis (lofgren's syndrome vs non-lofgren's syndrome). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11244 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 rs11244 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2016, PMID:26651848. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
