Chronic sputum production

HLA-DRB5 · rs374248993

What the study found

Who was studied 9,714 European ancestry cases, 48,471 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,977 European ancestry cases, 17,627 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.11 times the odds of Chronic sputum production (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.15); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — in an intron of HLA-DRB5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs374248993

What is rs374248993?

rs374248993 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-DRB5 gene. Published research associates it with chronic sputum production. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs374248993 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 rs374248993 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The European respiratory journal 2023, PMID:37263751. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
