Complement factor B levels

CFB · rs4151669

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.17 lower (95% confidence interval 0.97-1.37); p = 6 × 10−28.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — a synonymous change in CFB.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign for Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome with B factor anomaly, Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome, CFB-related disorder; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 12 submitters), last evaluated 2026-09-17. ClinVar record 356273 NM_001710.6(CFB):c.504G>A (p.Pro168=)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4151669

What is rs4151669?

rs4151669 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CFB gene. Published research associates it with complement factor b levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4151669 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 rs4151669 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
