DNA methylation-estimated granulocyte proportions

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 6,152 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0574 lower (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.065); p = 5 × 10⁻⁴⁹.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 84% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.1 — in an intron of IFI16.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to DNA methylation-estimated granulocyte proportions. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to DNA methylation-estimated granulocyte proportions. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to DNA methylation-estimated granulocyte proportions. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs856046

What is rs856046?

rs856046 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IFI16 gene. Published research associates it with dna methylation-estimated granulocyte proportions. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs856046 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 rs856046 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2021, PMID:34187551. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
