Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 350,470 European ancestry individuals, 154,355 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0139 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0094-0.0184); p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q21.3 — in an intron of FBXL17.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34427

What is rs34427?

rs34427 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FBXL17 gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell 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 rs34427 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 rs34427 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 rs34427 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
