Globulin in pregnancy

BLK · rs2251056

What the study found

Who was studied 98,131 Chinese ancestry individuals; replicated in 47,991 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0504 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.066); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 71% in the people studied.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2251056

What is rs2251056?

rs2251056 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BLK gene. Published research associates it with globulin in pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2251056 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 rs2251056 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42509370. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
