Eosinophil percentage of white cells

HCP5 · rs2523677

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0337 higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.043); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HCP5.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Eosinophil percentage of white cells — 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 Eosinophil percentage of white cells.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Eosinophil percentage of white cells compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2523677

What is rs2523677?

rs2523677 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HCP5 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil 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 rs2523677 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 rs2523677 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.
