What the study found

Who was studied 521,594 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0217 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.026); p = 3 × 10−20.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p25.1 — inside LINC00299.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7572278

What is rs7572278?

rs7572278 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00299 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 rs7572278 linked to?

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

Does having rs7572278 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 rs7572278 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
