Mean corpuscular volume

PVT1 · rs9649959

Strength of the evidence

3 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−63, with 7 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 696,882 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−63.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.21 — in an intron of PVT1.

What each result means

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