Microcytic percentage of red cells

near SMIM19 · rs2923433

What the study found

Who was studied 39,184 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0574 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.044-0.071); p = 3 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 59% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p11.21 — between genes, 8.4 kb from SMIM19.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Microcytic percentage of red cells. 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 Microcytic percentage of red cells. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Microcytic percentage of red cells. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2923433

What is rs2923433?

rs2923433 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SMIM19 gene. Published research associates it with microcytic percentage of red cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2923433 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 rs2923433 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
