White matter hyperintensity volume

HAAO · rs73923006

What the study found

Who was studied 48,454 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0548 higher (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.069); p = 2 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — between genes, 67.2 kb from LINC01819.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73923006

What is rs73923006?

rs73923006 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HAAO gene. Published research associates it with white matter hyperintensity volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73923006 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 rs73923006 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:33293549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
