What the study found

Who was studied 53,688 Finnish ancestry cases, 228,060 Finnish ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.078 higher; p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.3 — between genes, 63.4 kb from RN7SKP104.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10268629

What is rs10268629?

rs10268629 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TAC1 gene. Published research associates it with blood donation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10268629 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 rs10268629 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2026, PMID:42045633. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
