Hemoglobin levels

ZYG11A · rs480299

What the study found

Who was studied 684,122 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.016 lower; p = 3 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.3 — a missense change in ZYG11A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs480299

What is rs480299?

rs480299 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZYG11A gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs480299 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 rs480299 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2020, PMID:32327693. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
