HOXB · rs9906289

What the study found

Who was studied 80,494 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.083 higher (95% confidence interval 0.058-0.108); p = 6 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — in an intron of HOXB-AS3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9906289

What is rs9906289?

rs9906289 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HOXB gene. Published research associates it with motion sickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9906289 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 rs9906289 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2015, PMID:25628336. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
