NFATC2IP-AS1 · rs62037423

What the study found

Who was studied 563,946 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0128 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.009-0.0166); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p11.2 — in a non-coding transcript of NFATC2IP-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62037423

What is rs62037423?

rs62037423 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFATC2IP-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62037423 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 rs62037423 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.
