CD8 on CD39+ CD8+ T cell

CD8B · rs72847706

What the study found

Who was studied 2,915 Sardinian (founder/genetic isolate) ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.255 lower (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.32); p = 2 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p11.2 — in an intron of CD8B.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to CD8 on CD39+ CD8+ T cell. 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 CD8 on CD39+ CD8+ T cell. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to CD8 on CD39+ CD8+ T cell. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72847706

What is rs72847706?

rs72847706 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CD8B gene. Published research associates it with cd8 on cd39+ cd8+ t cell. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72847706 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 rs72847706 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32929287. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
