Lymphocyte count

LIN54 · rs116142917

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0218 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.027); p = 7 × 10−18.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q21.22 — in an intron of LIN54.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs116142917

What is rs116142917?

rs116142917 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LIN54 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs116142917 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 rs116142917 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.
