What the study found

Who was studied 516 European cases, 1,196 European controls, 341 African American cases, 892 African American controls, 117 Hispanic cases, 560 Hispanic controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 2.70 times the odds of HIV-1 control; p = 4 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in a non-coding transcript of HCP5.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to HIV-1 control. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to HIV-1 control. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to HIV-1 control. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2255221

What is rs2255221?

rs2255221 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MICB gene. Published research associates it with hiv-1 control. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2255221 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to HIV-1 Viral Control. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2255221 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 rs2255221 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science 2010, PMID:21051598. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
