What the study found

Who was studied 170,494 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0209 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.028); p = 4 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 9 kb from HLA-DQA1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs607929

What is rs607929?

rs607929 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HLA-DQA1 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte percentage of white cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs607929 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 rs607929 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 rs607929 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.
