What the study found

Who was studied 684,122 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.014 higher; p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p33 — between genes, 0.3 kb from LINC01738.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1249090

What is rs1249090?

rs1249090 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01738 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1249090 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 rs1249090 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 rs1249090 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2020, PMID:32327693. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
