White blood cell count

FCRL5 · rs1571967

What the study found

Who was studied 9,368 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.227 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.29); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.1 — in an intron of FCRL5.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two 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.

Questions about rs1571967

What is rs1571967?

rs1571967 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FCRL5 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.

Does having rs1571967 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 rs1571967 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
