Respiratory infection

near HLA-DQA1 · rs28752520

What the study found

Who was studied 23,560 European ancestry cases, 313,924 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.931 lower (95% confidence interval 0.911-0.951); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 11.2 kb from HLA-DQA1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Respiratory infection compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Respiratory infection.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Respiratory infection — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs28752520

What is rs28752520?

rs28752520 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DQA1 gene. Published research associates it with respiratory infection. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs28752520 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 rs28752520 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2022, PMID:35173190. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
