White blood cell count (monocyte)

near PCNPP2 · rs12341441

What the study found

Who was studied 16,201 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.143 higher (95% confidence interval 0.095-0.19); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q22.1 — between genes, 44.4 kb from PCNPP2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to White blood cell count (monocyte). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count (monocyte). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count (monocyte). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12341441

What is rs12341441?

rs12341441 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PCNPP2 gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell count (monocyte). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12341441 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 rs12341441 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.
