Standard

MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A levels

NOTCH4 · rs3134942

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−16, with 3 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.579 higher (95% confidence interval 0.44-0.71); p = 1 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — a synonymous change in NOTCH4.

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-11-09 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
