white blood cell count (WBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed)

near CFAP144 · rs585655

What the study found

Who was studied 108,774 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 49,939 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,836 East Asian ancestry individuals, 380,686 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0368 lower (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.045); p = 4 × 10−18.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.2 — between genes, 13.8 kb from CFAP144.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to white blood cell count (WBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to white blood cell count (WBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to white blood cell count (WBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs585655

What is rs585655?

rs585655 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CFAP144 gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell count (wbc, maximum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs585655 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 rs585655 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
