Basophil count

NOTCH4 · rs367398

What the study found

Who was studied 234,678 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 100,513 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — in the 5′ untranslated region of NOTCH4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs367398

What is rs367398?

rs367398 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NOTCH4 gene. Published research associates it with basophil count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs367398 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 rs367398 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2021, PMID:34469753. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
