rs2442728 is a SNP located in the MHC region, upstream of HLA-B and about 1.2 Mb telomeric of DRB1.

A study of 855 rheumatoid arthritis patients concluded that rs2442728 was one of only two SNPs representing an additional susceptibility gene - in addition to HLA-DRB1 - within the MHC region.[PMID 19116923]
