What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0992 higher (95% confidence interval 0.084-0.115); p = 7 × 10−36.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q15.1 — in an intron of CAPN3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Monocyte count. 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 Monocyte count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Monocyte count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs111657448

What is rs111657448?

rs111657448 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-164J13.1 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs111657448 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts, Monocyte Count. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs111657448 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 rs111657448 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
