mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC, minimum, inv-norm transformed)

ILKAP · rs4663854

What the study found

Who was studied 114,841 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 55,798 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,943 East Asian ancestry individuals, 407,301 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.019 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.024); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.3 — in an intron of ILKAP.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC, minimum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC, minimum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC, minimum, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4663854

What is rs4663854?

rs4663854 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ILKAP gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (mchc, minimum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4663854 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 rs4663854 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
