What the study found
Who was studied 110,558 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 51,938 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,549 East Asian ancestry individuals, 380,796 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0337 lower (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.041); p = 3 × 10−20.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 78% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.12 — in an intron of LIMA1.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of red cell diameter width (RDW, mean, inv-norm transformed) compared to the general population.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with red cell diameter width (RDW, mean, inv-norm transformed).
T/T
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of red cell diameter width (RDW, mean, inv-norm transformed) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs34833957
What is rs34833957?
rs34833957 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LIMA1 gene. Published research associates it with red cell diameter width (rdw, mean, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs34833957 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 rs34833957 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
