near LINC02702 · rs530849

What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0156 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.019); p = 4 × 10−20.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.3 — between genes, 1.3 kb from LINC02702.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Haematocrit percentage (UKB data field 30030) compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Haematocrit percentage (UKB data field 30030).
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Haematocrit percentage (UKB data field 30030) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs530849

What is rs530849?

rs530849 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02702 gene. Published research associates it with haematocrit percentage (ukb data field 30030). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs530849 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 rs530849 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
