C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Chronic hepatitis B infection compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Chronic hepatitis B infection.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Chronic hepatitis B infection — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs2856718 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-DQB1 gene. Published research associates it with chronic hepatitis b infection. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2856718 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Chronic Hepatitis B. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2856718 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 rs2856718 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hepatology 2015, PMID:25802187. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
