High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells

RIOK3 · rs56282762

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.217 higher (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.25); p = 9 × 10−51.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q11.2 — a missense change in RIOK3.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of High light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells compared to the general population.

Questions about rs56282762

What is rs56282762?

rs56282762 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RIOK3 gene. Published research associates it with high light scatter reticulocyte percentage of red cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56282762 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 rs56282762 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.
