SUSD1 · rs6477879

What the study found

Who was studied 696,882 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 6 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q31.3 — in an intron of SUSD1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6477879

What is rs6477879?

rs6477879 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SUSD1 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.

Does having rs6477879 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 rs6477879 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.
