Clonal hematopoiesis (mutational barcode method)

near HEPH · rs73217448

What the study found

Who was studied 59,219 British, Irish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.88 times the odds of Clonal hematopoiesis (mutational barcode method) (95% confidence interval 0.85-0.92); p = 8 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq12 — between genes, 23.5 kb from HEPH.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Clonal hematopoiesis (mutational barcode method). 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 Clonal hematopoiesis (mutational barcode method). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Clonal hematopoiesis (mutational barcode method). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73217448

What is rs73217448?

rs73217448 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HEPH gene. Published research associates it with clonal hematopoiesis (mutational barcode method). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73217448 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 rs73217448 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37932435. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
