Immature fraction of reticulocytes

KANK2 · rs12980879

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.251 higher (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.27); p = 2 × 10−141.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.2 — in an intron of KANK2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12980879

What is rs12980879?

rs12980879 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KANK2 gene. Published research associates it with immature fraction of reticulocytes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12980879 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 rs12980879 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
