Basophil percentage of white cells variance

GS1-24F4.2 · rs11777699

What the study found

Who was studied 404,531 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0187 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.023); p = 2 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — in an intron of GS1-24F4.2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11777699

What is rs11777699?

rs11777699 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GS1-24F4.2 gene. Published research associates it with basophil percentage of white cells variance. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11777699 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 rs11777699 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40335489. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
