Who was studied 170,494 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.474 higher (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.63); p = 2 × 10−9.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q11.1 — between genes, 1.2 kb from RN7SL843P.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Monocyte percentage of white cells compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Monocyte percentage of white cells.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Monocyte percentage of white cells — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs531425523 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RN7SL843P gene. Published research associates it with monocyte percentage of white cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs531425523 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 rs531425523 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 rs531425523 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.
