What the study found

Who was studied 171,846 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0485 lower (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.058); p = 2 × 10−24.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

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

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3131643

What is rs3131643?

rs3131643 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HCP5 gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell count (basophil). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3131643 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 rs3131643 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 rs3131643 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.
