Who was studied 116,666 British ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0588 lower (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.067); p = 5 × 10−44.
Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — in an intron of FADS1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Red cell distribution width. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Red cell distribution width. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Red cell distribution width. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs174559 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR1908 gene. Published research associates it with red cell distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs174559 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 rs174559 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 rs174559 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2017, PMID:28957414. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
