Obtaining hazard ratio from beta and chi-square values

I have used a program called Probabel to run a cox regression on genotype data (to look for association with disease status). My output file looks as follows contains beta_SNP_addA1, sebeta_SNP_addA1 and chi2_SNP_add.

Is there any way I can use these values to obtain P-values and Hazard ratios?

Many thanks.

From the Cox regression model statistics, in order to obtain the hazard ratio, just get the exponent of the derived beta coefficient (using R Programming Language):

exp(beta_SNP_addA1)

To get the upper and lower 95% confidence intervals:

exp( c( (beta_SNP_addA1 - (1.96*sebeta_SNP_addA1)), (beta_SNP_addA1 + (1.96*sebeta_SNP_addA1)) ) )
