What the study found

Who was studied 362,595 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.14 % lower (95% confidence interval -0.16--0.12); p = 2 × 10−35.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.2 — in an intron of SLC25A37.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1567668

What is rs1567668?

rs1567668 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC25A37 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.

What conditions is rs1567668 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 rs1567668 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 rs1567668 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2021, PMID:34104963. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
