Lymphocyte count

near MITA1 · rs576181647

What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.149 higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.18); p = 1 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q21.13 — between genes, 12.8 kb from MITA1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs576181647

What is rs576181647?

rs576181647 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MITA1 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs576181647 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 rs576181647 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
