Who was studied 16,201 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.152 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.17); p = 1 × 10−40.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q21.3 — in an intron of LYSMD1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs12097169 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LYSMD1 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.
What conditions is rs12097169 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs12097169 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 rs12097169 come from?
GWAS Catalog, BMC genomics 2021, PMID:34107879. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
