Neutrophil collagenase levels

HSPA1L · rs2227955

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.02 higher (95% confidence interval 0.75-1.3); p = 4 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — a missense change in HSPA1L.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for HSPA1L-related disorder, Inflammatory bowel disease 1; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2019-01-10. ClinVar record 372131 NM_005527.4(HSPA1L):c.1673A>C (p.Glu558Ala)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Neutrophil collagenase levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Neutrophil collagenase levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Neutrophil collagenase levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2227955

What is rs2227955?

rs2227955 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HSPA1L gene. Published research associates it with neutrophil collagenase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2227955 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 rs2227955 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
