C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of White blood cell count (basophil) compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with White blood cell count (basophil).
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of White blood cell count (basophil) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs78744187 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CEBPA gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell count (basophil). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs78744187 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 rs78744187 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 rs78744187 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28158719. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
