Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−41, with 2 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 234,690 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 100,494 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−42.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q21.22 — in an intron of SCD5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6832625

What is rs6832625?

rs6832625 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCD5 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte 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 rs6832625 linked to?

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

Does having rs6832625 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 rs6832625 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2021, PMID:34469753. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
