LRBA, variants, traits, and what the research shows

LRBA - what this gene does

Variants cataloged for this gene cluster overwhelmingly around immune-related traits, with at least one top-ranked variant carrying a rare disease classification. The 1,180 variants on file point consistently toward immune biology, though no study-level summaries are available yet to characterize specific mechanisms.

Key takeaways

• Variants in this gene are primarily linked to immune traits, with one top-ranked variant flagged for rare disease
• All 20 highest-magnitude variants carry a score of 5.50, the top tier in this dataset
• These are population-level statistical signals, not individual health predictors
• No SNP-level research summaries are linked yet, so specific effect sizes cannot be reported
• The large number of cataloged variants (1,180) suggests this gene is an active focus of genetic research

Notable variants

All 20 top-ranked variants share a magnitude score of 5.50. rs1028628066 is the only one in this tier tied to a rare disease trait. The remaining 19 are all linked to immune traits; a representative set includes rs1032290659, rs1051619342, rs112952572, rs114610541, rs116355217, and rs116526975. The uniform magnitude across this group reflects consistent cataloging rather than a single dominant study effect, and individual study details remain unavailable pending summary data.

Trait associations

The two trait categories present in the top-ranked variants are immune and rare disease. Immune-linked variants make up 19 of the top 20, including rs1032290659, rs1051619342, rs112952572, rs114610541, and rs116526975, among others. The rare disease signal within this top tier comes solely from rs1028628066. The breadth of immune-associated entries across the full 1,180-variant catalog points to a consistent pattern, though the absence of SNP summaries means the specific immune phenotypes (conditions or laboratory measurements) linked to each variant cannot yet be described.

Evidence quality

No SNP-level research summaries are available for this gene at this time, which means effect sizes, odds ratios, sample sizes, and replication status cannot be reported. The magnitude scores (5.50 for all top-tier variants) and trait category labels (immune, rare disease) are structural annotations from the variant catalog, not quantified findings from published studies. All associations here should be treated as preliminary until study-level data is linked to individual variants.

What this is NOT

These variants are population-level statistical signals, not deterministic predictors of health outcomes for any individual. This entry does not constitute medical advice, a diagnosis, or a recommendation of any kind.
