CEP170 · rs10926973
Where this position leads
Condition: Blood Cell Counts
What the study found
Who was studied 116,666 British ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0225 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.031); p = 2 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q43 — in an intron of CEP170.
rs10926973 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CEP170 gene. Published research associates it with red cell distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
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.
