What the study found

Who was studied 170,494 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0369 lower (95% confidence interval 0.026-0.048); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q13.2 — in an intron of PPP2R3C.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Monocyte percentage of white cells compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Monocyte percentage of white cells.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Monocyte percentage of white cells — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs111778408

What is rs111778408?

rs111778408 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPP2R3C gene. Published research associates it with monocyte percentage of white cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs111778408 linked to?

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

Does having rs111778408 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 rs111778408 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
