Natural killer cell receptor 2B4 levels

CD244 · rs11265493

What the study found

Who was studied 14,735 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,585 European or unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.212 higher (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.24); p = 1 × 10−70.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.3 — in an intron of CD244.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Natural killer cell receptor 2B4 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Natural killer cell receptor 2B4 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Natural killer cell receptor 2B4 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11265493

What is rs11265493?

rs11265493 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CD244 gene. Published research associates it with natural killer cell receptor 2b4 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11265493 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 rs11265493 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature immunology 2023, PMID:37563310. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
