High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells

HLA-C · rs3207555

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−11, with 1 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 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0174 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.022); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in the 3′ untranslated region of HLA-C.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3207555

What is rs3207555?

rs3207555 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-C gene. Published research associates it with high light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3207555 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 rs3207555 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
