Hematocrit

HLCS · rs115593871

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.028 lower (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.037); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.13 — in an intron of HLCS.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs115593871

What is rs115593871?

rs115593871 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLCS gene. Published research associates it with hematocrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs115593871 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 rs115593871 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
