What the study found

Who was studied 16,201 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.147 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.17); p = 1 × 10−39.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.3 — between genes, 54.4 kb from RNA5SP63.

What each result means

A/A 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.
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 No copy of the version the research linked to White blood cell count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9659479

What is rs9659479?

rs9659479 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNA5SP63 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.

What conditions is rs9659479 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs9659479 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 rs9659479 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC genomics 2021, PMID:34107879. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
