What the study found

Who was studied 171,643 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0644 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.084); p = 9 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p11.21 — a missense change in ANK1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign for Hereditary spherocytosis type 1, Spherocytosis, Thyroid cancer, nonmedullary, 1, Melanoma, Acute myeloid leukemia and 9 more; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 9 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-01. ClinVar record 261310 NM_000037.4(ANK1):c.4385C>T (p.Ala1462Val)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Lymphocyte 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 Lymphocyte count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lymphocyte count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs34664882

What is rs34664882?

rs34664882 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANK1 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte 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 rs34664882 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 rs34664882 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 rs34664882 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.
