Neutrophil count

MITF · rs62250976

What the study found

Who was studied 519,288 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0146 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.019); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p13 — in an intron of MITF.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62250976

What is rs62250976?

rs62250976 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MITF gene. Published research associates it with neutrophil count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62250976 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 rs62250976 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
