MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B levels

HCP5 · rs2248372

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 A allele shifted the measure 0.417 higher (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.5); p = 1 × 10−19.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HCP5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2248372

What is rs2248372?

rs2248372 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HCP5 gene. Published research associates it with mhc class i polypeptide-related sequence b levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2248372 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 rs2248372 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.
