What the study found

Who was studied 154,355 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0242 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.031); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q25.2 — between genes, 20.5 kb from MXI1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs79404554

What is rs79404554?

rs79404554 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MXI1 gene. Published research associates it with white blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79404554 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 rs79404554 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
