Neutrophil side scatter

FAM53B · rs897297

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.

Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−26, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 38,341 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0764 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.062-0.09); p = 8 × 10−27.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.13 — in an intron of FAM53B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs897297

What is rs897297?

rs897297 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM53B gene. Published research associates it with neutrophil side scatter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs897297 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 rs897297 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.
