What the study found

Who was studied 2,616 European ancestry cases, 478,126 European ancestry controls, 110 East Asian ancestry cases, 175,543 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.83 higher (95% confidence interval 1.71-1.96); p = 5 × 10−191.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 1.2 kb from HLA-B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs146683910

What is rs146683910?

rs146683910 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-B gene. Published research associates it with iritis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs146683910 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 rs146683910 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.
