SLC17A1 · rs17342717
Where this position leads
Condition: Blood Cell Counts
What the study found
Who was studied 3,012 European ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.38 higher (95% confidence interval 0.24-0.52); p = 5 × 10−8.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.2 — in an intron of SLC17A1.
rs17342717 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC17A1 gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell traits. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
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.
