Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 levels

near HLA-B · rs9265997

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.176 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.22); p = 7 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 5 kb from HLA-B.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9265997

What is rs9265997?

rs9265997 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-B gene. Published research associates it with leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily b member 2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9265997 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 rs9265997 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.
