Lymphocyte percentage of white cells

RP11-12J10.3 · rs2885521

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0284 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.035); p = 9 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.13 — in an intron of FAM53B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2885521

What is rs2885521?

rs2885521 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-12J10.3 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte 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 rs2885521 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 rs2885521 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.
