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 T allele shifted the measure 1.07 fL higher (95% confidence interval 0.76-1.38); p = 6 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — inside HBM.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs148323035

What is rs148323035?

rs148323035 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HBM gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs148323035 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 rs148323035 come from?

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