What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0114 higher (95% confidence interval 0.008-0.0147); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.2 — in an intron of BCL11B.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell erythrocyte count (UKB data field 30010). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell erythrocyte count (UKB data field 30010). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Red blood cell erythrocyte count (UKB data field 30010). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12895055

What is rs12895055?

rs12895055 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCL11B gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell erythrocyte count (ukb data field 30010). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12895055 linked to?

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

Does having rs12895055 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 rs12895055 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
