Pyruvate levels in blood donors

RENBP · rs2229241

What the study found

Who was studied 1,542 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 1,602 Asian ancestry individuals, 7,037 European ancestry individuals, 1,153 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.265 lower (95% confidence interval 0.21-0.32); p = 4 × 10−18.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq28 — a missense change in RENBP.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Pyruvate levels in blood donors. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Pyruvate levels in blood donors. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Pyruvate levels in blood donors. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2229241

What is rs2229241?

rs2229241 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RENBP gene. Published research associates it with pyruvate levels in blood donors. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2229241 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 rs2229241 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell metabolism 2024, PMID:38964323. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
