CDC42BPA · rs1929863

What the study found

Who was studied 746,667 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−20.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.13 — in an intron of CDC42BPA.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of White blood cell count — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with White blood cell count.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of White blood cell count compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1929863

What is rs1929863?

rs1929863 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDC42BPA 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 rs1929863 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 rs1929863 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.
