Medication use (drugs affecting bone structure and mineralization)

near HLA-DRB1 · rs117726495

What the study found

Who was studied 7,870 European ancestry cases, 207,798 European ancestry controls, 6,143 East Asian ancestry cases, 172,583 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.21 higher (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.26); p = 8 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 8.1 kb from HLA-DRB1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Medication use (drugs affecting bone structure and mineralization). 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 Medication use (drugs affecting bone structure and mineralization). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Medication use (drugs affecting bone structure and mineralization). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs117726495

What is rs117726495?

rs117726495 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DRB1 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (drugs affecting bone structure and mineralization). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117726495 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 rs117726495 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
