Standard

Monocyte count

HOXA-AS3 · rs62454420

Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−21, with 7 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 521,594 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0349 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.042); p = 2 × 10−21.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.2 — in an intron of HOXA-AS3.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Monocyte count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Monocyte count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Monocyte count. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
DNA databases also record a third, rare version at this position, carried on fewer than one in a hundred copies of the DNA. The three results above cover the two common versions only.
