2-hydroxyoctanoate levels

HACL1 · rs74637339

What the study found

Who was studied 8,809 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.241 higher (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.31); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.1 — a missense change in HACL1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for HACL1-related disorder, Sarcoma, Thymoma, Melanoma, Acute myeloid leukemia and 6 more; no assertion criteria provided (0 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2019-07-30. ClinVar record 3056898 NM_012260.4(HACL1):c.451A>T (p.Ile151Phe)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to 2-hydroxyoctanoate levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to 2-hydroxyoctanoate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to 2-hydroxyoctanoate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs74637339

What is rs74637339?

rs74637339 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HACL1 gene. Published research associates it with 2-hydroxyoctanoate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs74637339 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 rs74637339 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Metabolites 2022, PMID:35050183. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
