The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0168 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.023); p = 4 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 1.7 kb from HLA-B.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Waist-hip index. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2442725
What is rs2442725?
rs2442725 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-B gene. Published research associates it with waist-hip index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does rs2442725 affect how medicines work?
HLA-B carries pharmacogenomic findings for Abacavir, Allopurinol, Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.
Does having rs2442725 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 rs2442725 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2021, PMID:34021172. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
