What the study found

Who was studied up to 7,526 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.51 higher; p = 8 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in an intron of FAM234A.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs151330263

What is rs151330263?

rs151330263 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM234A 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 rs151330263 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 rs151330263 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 rs151330263 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2019, PMID:31675503. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
