White matter hyperintensity burden

HAAO · rs11679640

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 17,936 European ancestry individuals, 1,943 African American ancestry individuals, 795 Hispanic individuals, 204 Chinese ancestry individuals, 201 Malay ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — between genes, 57.9 kb from LINC01819.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to White matter hyperintensity burden. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/G One copy of the version the research linked to White matter hyperintensity burden. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to White matter hyperintensity burden. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11679640

What is rs11679640?

rs11679640 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HAAO gene. Published research associates it with white matter hyperintensity burden. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11679640 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs11679640 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation. Cardiovascular genetics 2015, PMID:25663218. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
