What the study found

Who was studied 24,167 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 9,456 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0 pg lower (95% confidence interval 0.003-0.005); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.13 — between genes, 0.4 kb from GCDH.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11085824

What is rs11085824?

rs11085824 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GCDH gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11085824 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 rs11085824 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 rs11085824 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19862010. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
