High fluorescent percentage of reticulocytes

ITGA4 · rs1964512

What the study found

Who was studied 37,931 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0516 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.067); p = 5 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q31.3 — in an intron of ITGA4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1964512

What is rs1964512?

rs1964512 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ITGA4 gene. Published research associates it with high fluorescent percentage of reticulocytes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1964512 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 rs1964512 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.
