Red blood cell haemoglobin equivalent

ACOXL · rs1606588

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 38,200 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0484 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.063); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q13 — in an intron of ACOXL.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Red blood cell haemoglobin equivalent compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Red blood cell haemoglobin equivalent.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Red blood cell haemoglobin equivalent — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs1606588

What is rs1606588?

rs1606588 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACOXL gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell haemoglobin equivalent. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1606588 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 rs1606588 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
