What the study found

Who was studied 170,641 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0409 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.049); p = 2 × 10−23.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — a synonymous change in HLA-C.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte count. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs34794906

What is rs34794906?

rs34794906 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-C gene. Published research associates it with reticulocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs34794906 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs34794906 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 rs34794906 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
