rs2187668
HLA-DQ2.5rs2187668 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the HLA-DQ2.5 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Health & Wellness analysis to describe Celiac Disease Risk.

An rsID such as rs2187668 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of TT, CT, CC. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so CT and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Celiac Disease Risk
Autoimmune and Inflammatory Conditions · Part of the Health & Wellness analysis
Plays a role in immune system function, linked to gluten sensitivity and celiac disease risk.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| TT | Increased Risk |
| CT | Moderate Risk |
| CC | Lower Risk |
- Summary
- HLA-DQ2.5 gene variations are associated with increased susceptibility to celiac disease.
- Scientific insights
- 'TT' genotype may lead to a higher risk of celiac disease, particularly with family history.
- Lifestyle tips
- A gluten-free diet is essential for managing symptoms if celiac disease is diagnosed.
