Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 562,259 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0154 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.02); p = 6 × 10⁻¹².

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.3 — in an intron of ATP5MG.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hematocrit. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Hematocrit. That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Hematocrit. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs59255055

What is rs59255055?

rs59255055 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATP5MG gene. Published research associates it with hematocrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs59255055 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs59255055 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 rs59255055 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
