Eosinophil percentage of granulocytes

near LINC02676 · rs11256008

What the study found

Who was studied 170,536 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0404 higher (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.05); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p14 — between genes, 15.8 kb from LINC02676.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Eosinophil percentage of granulocytes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Eosinophil percentage of granulocytes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Eosinophil percentage of granulocytes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11256008

What is rs11256008?

rs11256008 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02676 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil percentage of granulocytes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11256008 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 rs11256008 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.
