What is the rs201802880 variant?
rs201802880 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the NCF1 (Neutrophil Cytosol Factor 1 (p47phox)) gene. It belongs to the Oxidative Stress category and is part of the Oxidative Stress biological cluster. NCF1 encodes p47phox, a cytosolic component of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex required for its activation.
Biological role and pathway
This variant sits within the NCF1 gene, which is involved in the NADPH oxidase complex assembly pathway. Genes within the Oxidative Stress 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.
rs201802880 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research
NCF1 is essential for phagocyte oxidative burst; variants at rs201802880 (T-A dinucleotide repeat) are strongly associated with systemic lupus and other autoimmune diseases, potentially via increased ROS production.

Frequently asked questions
What is the rs201802880 variant in the NCF1 gene?
rs201802880 is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the NCF1 (Neutrophil Cytosol Factor 1 (p47phox)) gene, which is involved in NADPH oxidase complex assembly. NCF1 encodes p47phox, a cytosolic component of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex required for its activation.
How may the rs201802880 variant relate to Long COVID or ME/CFS?
NCF1 is essential for phagocyte oxidative burst; variants at rs201802880 (T-A dinucleotide repeat) are strongly associated with systemic lupus and other autoimmune diseases, potentially via increased ROS production.
Can a consumer DNA test detect the rs201802880 variant?
Many consumer DNA tests such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage genotype common SNPs. ChronicDNA analyses your raw DNA file and reports on variants studied in relation to chronic illness, immune function, and metabolism.
