SSH2 · rs3809789

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.018 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.022); p = 4 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q11.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of ABHD15-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Lymphocyte count. 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 Lymphocyte count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lymphocyte count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3809789

What is rs3809789?

rs3809789 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SSH2 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3809789 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 rs3809789 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.
