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/GNo copy of the version the research linked to HIV-1 control. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to HIV-1 control. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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.
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.
