C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Perceived unattractiveness to mosquitoes — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Perceived unattractiveness to mosquitoes.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Perceived unattractiveness to mosquitoes compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9268659
What is rs9268659?
rs9268659 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-DRA gene. Published research associates it with perceived unattractiveness to mosquitoes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs9268659 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Mosquito Bite Reaction. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs9268659 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 rs9268659 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28199695. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
