Mean corpuscular hemoglobin

AXIN1 · rs556175248

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.634 lower (95% confidence interval 0.44-0.83); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in an intron of AXIN1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs556175248

What is rs556175248?

rs556175248 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AXIN1 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs556175248 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 rs556175248 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
