What the study found

Who was studied 12,502 Hispanic/Latino individuals; replicated in 4,772 Hispanic/Latino individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.11 g/dL lower (95% confidence interval 0.071-0.149); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p11.21 — between genes, 43.7 kb from SMIM19.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1349471

What is rs1349471?

rs1349471 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMIM19 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1349471 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1349471 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 rs1349471 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2017, PMID:28453575. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
