Eosinophil forward scatter

ARSB · rs17819944

What the study found

Who was studied 30,352 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0733 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.094); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.1 — in an intron of ARSB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17819944

What is rs17819944?

rs17819944 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARSB gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil 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 rs17819944 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 rs17819944 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.
