What the study found
Who was studied 545,203 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0407 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.049); p = 8 × 10−21.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p15.2 — between genes, 2.7 kb from ERVH-1.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Red blood cell count — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Red blood cell count.
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Red blood cell count compared to the general population.

Questions about rs16874060
What is rs16874060?
rs16874060 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ERVH-1 gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs16874060 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 rs16874060 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.
