What the study found

Who was studied 170,763 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0457 (percentage) lower (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.053); p = 3 × 10−34.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q33 — inside LOC124901750.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4728335

What is rs4728335?

rs4728335 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near BPGM gene. Published research associates it with high light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4728335 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 rs4728335 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 rs4728335 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
