Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 630,125 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 C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10⁻³¹⁹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q29 — in an intron of TFRC.

What each result means

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

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

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

Questions about rs3804139

What is rs3804139?

rs3804139 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TFRC gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3804139 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 rs3804139 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 rs3804139 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.
