CD64 on CD14- CD16-

near HLA-DRB1 · rs558721

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 3,622 Sardinian (founder/genetic isolate) ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.333 higher (95% confidence interval 0.22-0.45); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 12.9 kb from HLA-DRB1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to CD64 on CD14- CD16-. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to CD64 on CD14- CD16-. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to CD64 on CD14- CD16-. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs558721

What is rs558721?

rs558721 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DRB1 gene. Published research associates it with cd64 on cd14- cd16-. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs558721 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 rs558721 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32929287. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
