What the study found

Who was studied 170,384 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0475 higher (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.059); p = 6 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.2 — in an intron of LOC124904185.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sum neutrophil eosinophil counts compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sum neutrophil eosinophil counts.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sum neutrophil eosinophil counts — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7537229

What is rs7537229?

rs7537229 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PLPP3 gene. Published research associates it with sum neutrophil eosinophil counts. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7537229 linked to?

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

Does having rs7537229 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 rs7537229 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.
