near EXT1 · rs12548404

What the study found

Who was studied 67,485 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 36,872 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 4,010 East Asian ancestry individuals, 221,657 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0344 higher (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.041); p = 7 × 10−26.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.11 — between genes, 7.7 kb from EXT1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Basophil (fraction, maximum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Basophil (fraction, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Basophil (fraction, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12548404

What is rs12548404?

rs12548404 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EXT1 gene. Published research associates it with basophil (fraction, maximum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12548404 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 rs12548404 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
