FYB1 · rs150317881

What the study found

Who was studied 544,127 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.055 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.071); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p13.1 — in a regulatory region of FYB1.

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 rs150317881

What is rs150317881?

rs150317881 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FYB1 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 rs150317881 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 rs150317881 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
