What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Fetal hemoglobin levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2008, PMID:18245381)

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Fetal hemoglobin levels. (GWAS Catalog, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2008, PMID:18245381)

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Fetal hemoglobin levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2008, PMID:18245381)

Questions about rs11886868

What is rs11886868?

rs11886868 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCL11A gene. Published research associates it with fetal hemoglobin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11886868 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 rs11886868 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2008, PMID:18245381. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
