Neutrophil side fluorescence

near DEFA4 · rs79350116

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 38,336 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.463 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.43-0.49); p = 3 × 10−200.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — between genes, 3.4 kb from DEFA4.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Neutrophil side fluorescence compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Neutrophil side fluorescence.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Neutrophil side fluorescence — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs79350116

What is rs79350116?

rs79350116 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DEFA4 gene. Published research associates it with neutrophil side fluorescence. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79350116 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 rs79350116 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
