Red blood cell distribution width

PPP2R2A · rs13264882

What the study found

Who was studied 153,950 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0406 lower (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.053); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.2 — in an intron of PPP2R2A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13264882

What is rs13264882?

rs13264882 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPP2R2A gene. Published research associates it with red blood 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 rs13264882 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 rs13264882 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
