Lymphocyte percentage of white cells

UMODL1 · rs220262

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0169 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.021); p = 3 × 10−14.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.3 — between genes, 1 kb from UMODL1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs220262

What is rs220262?

rs220262 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UMODL1 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte percentage of white cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs220262 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 rs220262 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
