Asthma

near HLA-DRB5 · rs148940091

Where this position leads

Condition: Asthma

rs148940091 Condition: Asthma Asthma Condition rs148940091 rs148940091 near HLA-DRB5

What the study found

Who was studied 394,626 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0721 lower (95% confidence interval 0.059-0.086); p = 8 × 10−32.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 9 kb from HLA-DRB5.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Asthma. 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 Asthma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Asthma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs148940091

What is rs148940091?

rs148940091 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DRB5 gene. Published research associates it with asthma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs148940091 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Asthma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs148940091 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 rs148940091 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
