2-3-Bisphosphoglycerate levels in blood donors

RHCE · rs636889

What the study found

Who was studied 1,542 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 1,602 Asian ancestry individuals, 7,037 European ancestry individuals, 1,153 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0688 lower (95% confidence interval 0.049-0.088); p = 4 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.11 — in an intron of RHCE.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to 2-3-Bisphosphoglycerate levels in blood donors. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to 2-3-Bisphosphoglycerate levels in blood donors. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to 2-3-Bisphosphoglycerate levels in blood donors. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs636889

What is rs636889?

rs636889 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RHCE gene. Published research associates it with 2-3-bisphosphoglycerate levels in blood donors. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs636889 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 rs636889 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell metabolism 2024, PMID:38964323. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
