What the study found

Who was studied 9,392 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 12,118 European ancestry individuals, 5,212 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 9.4 % standard unit higher (95% confidence interval 7.2-11.6); p = 9 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q21.3 — between genes, 2.4 kb from GATA2-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4857855

What is rs4857855?

rs4857855 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GATA2 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil 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 rs4857855 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.

What do people read about alongside rs4857855?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs4857855 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 rs4857855 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19198610. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
