Hemoglobin concentration

LINC02570 · rs3130787

What the study found

Who was studied 52,141 European ancestry females; replicated in 89,584 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0275 higher; p = 5 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of LINC02570.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3130787

What is rs3130787?

rs3130787 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02570 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3130787 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 rs3130787 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of nutritional biochemistry 2023, PMID:35964923. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
