What the study found

Who was studied 170,494 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0223 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.029); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p25.1 — inside LINC00299.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2630709

What is rs2630709?

rs2630709 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00299 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte 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.

What conditions is rs2630709 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2630709 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 rs2630709 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
