Who was studied 172,433 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0347 higher (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.044); p = 2 × 10−13.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in an intron of PCIF1.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean corpuscular volume.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean corpuscular volume compared to the general population.
rs6073966 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCIF1 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6073966 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 rs6073966 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 rs6073966 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
