Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 35,324 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.057 mg/g lower; p = 3 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q32.2 — in the 5′ untranslated region of SLC40A1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Spleen iron concentration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Spleen iron concentration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Spleen iron concentration. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
American journal of human genetics · 2022 · PMID 35568031 · open access
Questions about rs13008848
What is rs13008848?
rs13008848 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC40A1 gene. Published research associates it with spleen iron concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs13008848 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 rs13008848 come from?
GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2022, PMID:35568031. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
