Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

HLA · rs3129843

What the study found

Who was studied 2,556 European ancestry cases, 15,651 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 2.74 times the odds of Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (95% confidence interval 2.53–2.97); p = 9 × 10−133.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 11.9 kb from HLA-DRA.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3129843

What is rs3129843?

rs3129843 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA gene. Published research associates it with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3129843 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 rs3129843 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ann Rheum Dis 2015, PMID:26362759. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
