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 C allele carried 2.40 times the odds of HIV-1 control; p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HLA-B.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to HIV-1 control. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to HIV-1 control. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2523590

What is rs2523590?

rs2523590 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-B 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 rs2523590 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 rs2523590 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 rs2523590 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 rs2523590 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.
