What the study found

Who was studied 448,010 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.07 higher (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.09); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in a non-coding transcript of HLA-B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs114029601

What is rs114029601?

rs114029601 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-B gene. Published research associates it with estimated bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does rs114029601 affect how medicines work?

HLA-B carries pharmacogenomic findings for Abacavir, Allopurinol, Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs114029601 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 rs114029601 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42432248. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
