SCAMP2 · rs6495124

What the study found

Who was studied 350,474 European ancestry individuals, 152,447 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0156 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.019); p = 5 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.1 — in an intron of SCAMP2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6495124

What is rs6495124?

rs6495124 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCAMP2 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6495124 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 rs6495124 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
