What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.114 higher (95% confidence interval 0.085-0.143); p = 3 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.3 — in an intron of CBFA2T3.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.

Questions about rs115268031

What is rs115268031?

rs115268031 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CBFA2T3 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.

What conditions is rs115268031 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 rs115268031 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 rs115268031 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
