What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.19 lower (95% confidence interval 1.11-1.27); p = 3 × 10−166.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HLA-B.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Serine protease 57 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Serine protease 57 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Serine protease 57 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs546481845

What is rs546481845?

rs546481845 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-B gene. Published research associates it with serine protease 57 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does rs546481845 affect how medicines work?

HLA-B carries pharmacogenomic findings for Abacavir, Allopurinol, Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs546481845 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 rs546481845 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
