Red blood cell count

near PODXL · rs115136484

What the study found

Who was studied 545,203 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0237 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.031); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q32.3 — between genes, 26.1 kb from PODXL.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs115136484

What is rs115136484?

rs115136484 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PODXL gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs115136484 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 rs115136484 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
