What the study found

Who was studied 696,882 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q12.2 — between genes, 36.5 kb from RN7SL633P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs118131223

What is rs118131223?

rs118131223 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SL633P gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs118131223 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 rs118131223 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.
