SH2B3 · rs78894077

What the study found

Who was studied 89,266 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.138 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.17); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.12 — a missense change in SH2B3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78894077

What is rs78894077?

rs78894077 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SH2B3 gene. Published research associates it with lymphocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78894077 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 rs78894077 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.
