What the study found
Who was studied 746,431 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect
The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 2 × 10−10.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q12.3 — in an intron of GGH.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hemoglobin concentration — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hemoglobin concentration.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hemoglobin concentration compared to the general population.

Questions about rs3780129
What is rs3780129?
rs3780129 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GGH 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 rs3780129 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 rs3780129 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.
