Immature fraction of reticulocytes

CD226 · rs34875178

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0228 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.027); p = 4 × 10−24.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q22.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CD226.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34875178

What is rs34875178?

rs34875178 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CD226 gene. Published research associates it with immature fraction of reticulocytes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34875178 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 rs34875178 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
