Mean corpuscular hemoglobin variance

HBM · rs141494605

What the study found

Who was studied 406,516 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.36 higher (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.39); p = 4 × 10−93.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — a synonymous change in HBM.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin variance. 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 variance. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin variance. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs141494605

What is rs141494605?

rs141494605 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HBM gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin variance. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs141494605 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 rs141494605 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40335489. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
