Basophil percentage of white cells

LRMDA · rs72807485

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0355 higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.047); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q22.2 — in an intron of LRMDA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72807485

What is rs72807485?

rs72807485 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRMDA gene. Published research associates it with basophil percentage of white cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72807485 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 rs72807485 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
