A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Monocyte count compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Monocyte count.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Monocyte count — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs708727 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC41A1 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte 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 rs708727 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Monocyte Count. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs708727 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 rs708727 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
