Red blood cell count

near RN7SL332P · rs35003605

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0401 higher (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.048); p = 1 × 10−22.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p23 — between genes, 62.8 kb from RN7SL332P.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Red blood cell count compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Red blood cell count.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Red blood cell count — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs35003605

What is rs35003605?

rs35003605 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SL332P gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs35003605 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 rs35003605 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.
