Neutrophil count

near CXCL2 · rs11733208

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 349,856 European ancestry individuals, 82,810 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0656 higher (95% confidence interval 0.061-0.07); p = 5 × 10−200.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.3 — between genes, 15.8 kb from CXCL2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11733208

What is rs11733208?

rs11733208 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CXCL2 gene. Published research associates it with neutrophil count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11733208 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 rs11733208 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
