Neutrophil forward scatter

THADA · rs12468394

What the study found

Who was studied 38,084 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0485 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.063); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — in an intron of THADA.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Neutrophil forward scatter. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Neutrophil forward scatter. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Neutrophil forward scatter. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12468394

What is rs12468394?

rs12468394 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THADA gene. Published research associates it with neutrophil forward scatter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12468394 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 rs12468394 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
