Eosinophil count

CTD-2342N23.3 · rs7818560

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0203 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.026); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.22 — between genes, 6.6 kb from ZFAT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7818560

What is rs7818560?

rs7818560 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTD-2342N23.3 gene. Published research associates it with eosinophil count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7818560 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 rs7818560 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.
