ZFPM1 · rs67651018

What the study found

Who was studied 81,042 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0415 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.052); p = 2 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.2 — in an intron of ZFPM1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs67651018

What is rs67651018?

rs67651018 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFPM1 gene. Published research associates it with basophil count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs67651018 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 rs67651018 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.
