What the study found
Who was studied 544,127 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0159 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.02); p = 3 × 10−18.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p13.2 — in an intron of ZNF638.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume compared to the general population.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean corpuscular volume.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs17743415
What is rs17743415?
rs17743415 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZNF638 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.
Does having rs17743415 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 rs17743415 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.
