High light scatter reticulocyte count

PPARG · rs56133301

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0562 lower (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.075); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.2 — between genes, 0.5 kb from PPARG.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs56133301

What is rs56133301?

rs56133301 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPARG gene. Published research associates it with high light scatter reticulocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56133301 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 rs56133301 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
