What is the rs143340306 variant?

rs143340306 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the SERPING1 (Serpin Family G Member 1 (C1-Inhibitor)) gene. It belongs to the Immune Signaling category and is part of the Coagulation & Microcirculation biological cluster. SERPING1 encodes C1-inhibitor, which inhibits C1r and C1s to prevent spontaneous complement activation, and also inhibits plasma kallikrein and factor XIIa.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the SERPING1 gene, which is involved in the classical complement and contact system inhibition pathway. Genes within the Coagulation & Microcirculation 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.

rs143340306 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research

C1-inhibitor deficiency causes hereditary angioedema; variants may affect kallikrein-bradykinin activation and complement regulation, contributing to vascular symptoms in Long COVID.
