What the study found

Who was studied 607 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,151 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 752 European ancestry cases, 450,411 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 3.79 lower (95% confidence interval 3.77-3.8); p = 1 × 10−12.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.32 — in an intron of KCNMB2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (PheCode 695.41) — 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 Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (PheCode 695.41).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (PheCode 695.41) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs187722945

What is rs187722945?

rs187722945 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNMB2 gene. Published research associates it with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (phecode 695.41). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs187722945 linked to?

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

Does having rs187722945 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 rs187722945 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.
