Reticulocyte fraction of red cells

AC017002.1 · rs59521405

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0169 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.022); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q13 — in an intron of SOCAR.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs59521405

What is rs59521405?

rs59521405 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AC017002.1 gene. Published research associates it with reticulocyte fraction 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 rs59521405 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 rs59521405 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.
