BRD2 · rs151159185

What the study found

Who was studied 517 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 119,658 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 721 European ancestry cases, 447,813 European ancestry controls, 301 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 58,660 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2.97 lower (95% confidence interval 2.94-3); p = 4 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — in an intron of BRD2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Acute tonsillitis (PheCode 474.1) — 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 Acute tonsillitis (PheCode 474.1).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Acute tonsillitis (PheCode 474.1) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs151159185

What is rs151159185?

rs151159185 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BRD2 gene. Published research associates it with acute tonsillitis (phecode 474.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs151159185 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 rs151159185 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.
