Hematocrit

IRS2 · rs12584136

What the study found

Who was studied 562,259 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0274 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.035); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — in an intron of IRS2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12584136

What is rs12584136?

rs12584136 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRS2 gene. Published research associates it with hematocrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12584136 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 rs12584136 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.
