COVID-19 with respiratory failure

DST · rs78531133

What the study found

Who was studied 3,255 European ancestry cases, 12,488 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.67 times the odds of COVID-19 with respiratory failure (95% confidence interval 1.660541908502385-1.684141603712125); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p12.1 — in an intron of DST.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to COVID-19 with respiratory failure. 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 COVID-19 with respiratory failure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to COVID-19 with respiratory failure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs78531133

What is rs78531133?

rs78531133 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DST gene. Published research associates it with covid-19 with respiratory failure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78531133 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 rs78531133 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2022, PMID:35848942. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
