What the study found

Who was studied 211 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,521 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,218 European ancestry cases, 449,047 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 2.36 lower (95% confidence interval 2.31-2.4); p = 9 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q11.21 — in an intron of TMEM72.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Pernicious anemia (PheCode 281.11). 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 Pernicious anemia (PheCode 281.11). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Pernicious anemia (PheCode 281.11). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs146734497

What is rs146734497?

rs146734497 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM72 gene. Published research associates it with pernicious anemia (phecode 281.11). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs146734497 linked to?

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

Does having rs146734497 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 rs146734497 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
