A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean corpuscular volume.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume compared to the general population.

Questions about rs4895441
What is rs4895441?
rs4895441 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HBS1L gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs4895441 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.
What do people read about alongside rs4895441?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include smell and taste (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs4895441 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 rs4895441 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19862010. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
