Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 491,553 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0545 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.059); p = 7 × 10⁻¹⁰⁶.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q11.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of TRAF4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3181215

What is rs3181215?

rs3181215 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TRAF4 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3181215 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 rs3181215 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 rs3181215 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
