Soluble transferrin receptor concentration

PLEKHM1 · rs55925547

What the study found

Who was studied 45,330 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0573 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.074); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.31 — in an intron of PLEKHM1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55925547

What is rs55925547?

rs55925547 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLEKHM1 gene. Published research associates it with soluble transferrin receptor concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55925547 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 rs55925547 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2024, PMID:39643614. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
