near CDC5L · rs79894332

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.044 lower (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.051); p = 6 × 10−33.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — between genes, 173.6 kb from CDC5L.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Monocyte percentage of white cells compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Monocyte percentage of white cells.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Monocyte percentage of white cells — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs79894332

What is rs79894332?

rs79894332 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CDC5L gene. Published research associates it with monocyte percentage of white cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79894332 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 rs79894332 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
