Abstract
Reference ranges for hematological measurements among healthy individuals are essential for accurate interpretation of testing results and clinical decision making. 2] We describe the distribution of cell counts for the CC genotype (Duffy null) and the CT/TT genotypes among individuals of Black race identified through the Vanderbilt University Medical Center electronic health record-linked DNA biobank resource (BioVU).
