What the study found

Who was studied 349,856 European ancestry individuals, 93,063 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0301 lower (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.035); p = 6 × 10−31.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.3 — between genes, 39.6 kb from LINC03066.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6904506

What is rs6904506?

rs6904506 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC03066 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6904506 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts, Colon Polyp. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6904506 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 rs6904506 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
