Who was studied 157,218 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.113 lower (95% confidence interval 0.089-0.137); p = 7 × 10−20.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 23.6 kb from HLA-DQB2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Kiwi liking. 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 Kiwi liking. That is a smaller link than two copies.

Questions about rs116309362

What is rs116309362?

rs116309362 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DQB2 gene. Published research associates it with kiwi liking. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs116309362 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 rs116309362 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35585065. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
