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 6,007 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian) individuals.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.17 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.23); p = 7 × 10−10.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.1 — between genes, 12.3 kb from KIRREL1.
rs11809289 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KIRREL1 gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
