Soluble transferrin receptor concentration

PAFAH1B2 · rs187669805

What the study found

Who was studied 45,330 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.407 higher (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.5); p = 2 × 10−18.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.3 — in an intron of PAFAH1B2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Soluble transferrin receptor concentration. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Soluble transferrin receptor concentration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Soluble transferrin receptor concentration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs187669805

What is rs187669805?

rs187669805 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAFAH1B2 gene. Published research associates it with soluble transferrin receptor concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs187669805 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 rs187669805 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2024, PMID:39643614. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
