What the study found

Who was studied 170,536 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.076 higher (95% confidence interval 0.067-0.085); p = 3 × 10−63.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.1 — in an intron of RAD50.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2706345

What is rs2706345?

rs2706345 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAD50 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil percentage of granulocytes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2706345 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 rs2706345 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 rs2706345 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.
