Ferritin levels

WDSUB1 · rs112016443

What the study found

Who was studied 2,649 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.42 higher (95% confidence interval 0.28-0.56); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.2 — between genes, 2.2 kb from WDSUB1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs112016443

What is rs112016443?

rs112016443 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WDSUB1 gene. Published research associates it with ferritin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs112016443 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 rs112016443 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Vox sanguinis 2021, PMID:33491795. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
