Leukocyte count in ischemic stroke

near NDUFB8P1 · rs78476982

What the study found

Who was studied 2,064 Spanish ancestry individuals; replicated in 407 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.63 higher (95% confidence interval 0.43-0.83); p = 8 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.3 — between genes, 4.3 kb from NDUFB8P1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78476982

What is rs78476982?

rs78476982 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NDUFB8P1 gene. Published research associates it with leukocyte count in ischemic stroke. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78476982 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 rs78476982 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Stroke 2019, PMID:31587654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
