Eosinophil percentage of white cells

near LINC02098 · rs118174290

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0475 lower (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.063); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q24.3 — between genes, 75.3 kb from LINC02098.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs118174290

What is rs118174290?

rs118174290 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02098 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil percentage of white cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs118174290 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 rs118174290 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.
