For the blood locus. Try and find online the genomic position (i.e. the number like 133273540 in the POS field of the .vcf) of the ABO blood locus and look it up on your dataset. Remember to make sure you find it on the gr37/hg19 build.

Wait, did you got yourself yourself sequenced?? I thought "my DNA" means "my DNA sample" not "my own DNA"!

And do I get right, you know your variants and you would like to know something about them, right?

Please don't just share your own genetic information online, especially if you are not fully understanding what you are looking at. It is not something to be posted everywhere, although some loci might be relatively harmless you shouldn't take this lightly.

Please ping me if you decide you want this censored. You should be very aware of the long-term consequences for you and your current and future relatives of sharing your genetic information on the internet in a post.

@DevonRyan thanks, I've removed it. I didn't think a small snippet would be a problem

If this is your own DNA and you are trying to analyse yourself you should talk to a genetic counselor. I personally think it's cool, but I deeply understand the potential consequences.

What you want is a variant annotation tool. There are many, but I normally write my own. Which is simply a case of pulling down a database and using pandas to match variants with annotation.

There are many databases. The biggest popular database is gnomad and the biggest disease database is clinvar. Others include omim, snpdb and 1k genomes. I'm not sure about blood sorry but I'm sure you can find one.
