What is the rs9895052 variant?

rs9895052 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the ATP5B (ATP Synthase F1 Subunit Beta) gene. It belongs to the Mitochondrial category and is part of the Mitochondrial Energy Production & PEM biological cluster. ATP5B encodes the beta catalytic subunit of F1 ATP synthase, containing the catalytic site for ATP hydrolysis and synthesis.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the ATP5B gene, which is involved in the mitochondrial ATP synthesis pathway. Genes within the Mitochondrial Energy Production & PEM cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.

rs9895052 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research

ATP5B function is essential for mitochondrial ATP production; variants may reduce energy output and contribute to post-exertional malaise in Long COVID.
