Mean corpuscular hemoglobin

near ZDHHC19 · rs2015708

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.087 lower (95% confidence interval 0.081-0.093); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁶¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q29 — in an intron of LINC00885.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean corpuscular hemoglobin — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean corpuscular hemoglobin.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean corpuscular hemoglobin compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2015708

What is rs2015708?

rs2015708 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZDHHC19 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2015708 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 rs2015708 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 rs2015708 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
