research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 114,863 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.189 higher (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.22); p = 2 × 10−40.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q15 — in an intron of CAST.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of mean corpuscular volume (MCV, minimum, inv-norm transformed) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with mean corpuscular volume (MCV, minimum, inv-norm transformed).
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of mean corpuscular volume (MCV, minimum, inv-norm transformed) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs116635225
What is rs116635225?
rs116635225 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CAST gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular volume (mcv, minimum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs116635225 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 rs116635225 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
