near TNFAIP3 · rs674451

What the study found

Who was studied 746,667 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.3 — between genes, 9.8 kb from TNFAIP3.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to White blood cell 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 White blood cell count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs674451

What is rs674451?

rs674451 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TNFAIP3 gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs674451 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 rs674451 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.
