Red blood cell count

PRKAG2 · rs55779150

What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.065 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.085); p = 3 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q36.1 — in an intron of PRKAG2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55779150

What is rs55779150?

rs55779150 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRKAG2 gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55779150 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 rs55779150 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
