RAD51B · rs117859692

What the study found

Who was studied 1,079 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 119,888 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,241 European ancestry cases, 448,839 European ancestry controls, 271 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,419 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 2.82 lower (95% confidence interval 2.79-2.85); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.1 — in an intron of RAD51B.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hidradenitis (PheCode 705.3) compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hidradenitis (PheCode 705.3).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hidradenitis (PheCode 705.3) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs117859692

What is rs117859692?

rs117859692 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAD51B gene. Published research associates it with hidradenitis (phecode 705.3). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117859692 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 rs117859692 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
