FMNL2 · rs2345872

What the study found

Who was studied 643,370 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 C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−12.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q23.3 — in an intron of FMNL2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2345872

What is rs2345872?

rs2345872 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FMNL2 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2345872 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 rs2345872 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.
