Red blood cell volume distribution width variation in pregnancy

CCT3 · rs12120137

What the study found

Who was studied 98,021 Chinese ancestry individuals; replicated in 46,217 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0855 lower (95% confidence interval 0.069-0.102); p = 2 × 10−25.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q22 — in an intron of CCT3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12120137

What is rs12120137?

rs12120137 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CCT3 gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell volume distribution width variation in pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12120137 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 rs12120137 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42509370. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
