What the study found

Who was studied 234,690 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 100,494 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−18.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q12.2 — in an intron of FLT3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs188175496

What is rs188175496?

rs188175496 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FLT3 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs188175496 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Monocyte Count, Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs188175496 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 rs188175496 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2021, PMID:34469753. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
