Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied up to 21,020 European ancestry individuals, up to 3,621 African American individuals, up to 15,062 East Asian individuals.; replicated in 16,389 individuals of European and African American ancestry..

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0061 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0037-0.0085); p = 1 × 10⁻⁶.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p24.3 — in an intron of PLCL2.

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 rs2060597

What is rs2060597?

rs2060597 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLCL2 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 rs2060597 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 rs2060597 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 rs2060597 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2016, PMID:28017375. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
