Eosinophil count variance

NIPSNAP2 · rs538947258

What the study found

Who was studied 406,469 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 4.78 higher (95% confidence interval 3.3-6.25); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p11.2 — in the 5′ untranslated region of NIPSNAP2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs538947258

What is rs538947258?

rs538947258 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NIPSNAP2 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil count variance. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs538947258 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 rs538947258 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40335489. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
