Red cell distribution width

C18orf25 · rs12963943

What the study found

Who was studied 116,666 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0862 higher (95% confidence interval 0.077-0.095); p = 5 × 10−85.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.1 — in an intron of ARK2N.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12963943

What is rs12963943?

rs12963943 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C18orf25 gene. Published research associates it with red cell distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12963943 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 rs12963943 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PloS one 2017, PMID:28957414. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
