near AHI1 · rs182878679

What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.111 higher (95% confidence interval 0.079-0.143); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.3 — between genes, 5.7 kb from AHI1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume (UKB data field 30040) — 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 Mean corpuscular volume (UKB data field 30040).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume (UKB data field 30040) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs182878679

What is rs182878679?

rs182878679 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near AHI1 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular volume (ukb data field 30040). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs182878679 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 rs182878679 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
