Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 62,553 European ancestry individuals, 9,308 South Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 63,506 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.02 higher (95% confidence interval -0.00352-0.04352); p = 2 × 10⁻²².

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 37% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.3 — in an intron of PIEZO1.

What each result means

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

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell traits. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Red blood cell traits. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10445033

What is rs10445033?

rs10445033 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM38A gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell traits. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10445033 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 rs10445033 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 rs10445033 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2012, PMID:23222517. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
