What the study found

Who was studied 170,641 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0268 lower (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.034); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — between genes, 2 kb from DSTYK.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Reticulocyte count compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Reticulocyte count.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Reticulocyte count — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs12140703

What is rs12140703?

rs12140703 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DSTYK gene. Published research associates it with reticulocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12140703 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs12140703 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 rs12140703 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
