Blood cell traits, including red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin, white blood cell count (WBC) and platelet count, are important intermediate clinical phenotypes for a variety of cardiovascular, hematologic, oncogenic, immunologic and infectious diseases. The goal of this project is to identify novel loci associated with these traits.
