What the study found

Who was studied 531,774 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0695 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.074); p = 4 × 10−220.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 76% in the people studied.

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

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2023-11-12. ClinVar record 1287653 NM_001128148.3(TFRC):c.-23-28C>T

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Red cell distribution width. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Red cell distribution width. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Red cell distribution width. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs41300435

What is rs41300435?

rs41300435 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TFRC gene. Published research associates it with red cell distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs41300435 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 rs41300435 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.
