near OR2W4P · rs13214703

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 52,141 European ancestry females; replicated in 89,584 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0831 higher; p = 2 × 10⁻⁴⁶.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — between genes, 3.5 kb from OR2W4P.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hemoglobin concentration compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hemoglobin concentration.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hemoglobin concentration — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs13214703

What is rs13214703?

rs13214703 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near OR2W4P gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13214703 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 rs13214703 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of nutritional biochemistry 2023, PMID:35964923. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
