Hemoglobin A2 in pregnancy

TELO2 · rs4787204

What the study found

Who was studied 49,199 Chinese ancestry individuals; replicated in 39,056 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0882 higher (95% confidence interval 0.068-0.109); p = 2 × 10−17.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A2 in pregnancy. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A2 in pregnancy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A2 in pregnancy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4787204

What is rs4787204?

rs4787204 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TELO2 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin a2 in pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4787204 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 rs4787204 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42509370. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
