What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.026 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.03); p = 9 × 10−30.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p14 — between genes, 88.6 kb from KRT8P37.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2646420

What is rs2646420?

rs2646420 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-543F8.2 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2646420 linked to?

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

Does having rs2646420 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 rs2646420 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.
