What the study found

Who was studied 1,086 British ancestry cases, 407,155 British ancestry controls, 640 Finnish ancestry cases, 176,259 Finnish ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 7 × 10−19.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q32.3 — in an intron of LINC-PINT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62471615

What is rs62471615?

rs62471615 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MKLN1 gene. Published research associates it with myeloproliferative neoplasms. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62471615 linked to?

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

Does having rs62471615 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 rs62471615 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2020, PMID:33057200. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
