Who was studied 172,332 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0244 lower (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.033); p = 5 × 10−9.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.2 — in an intron of TRAF3IP3.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs6540555 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TRAF3IP3 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6540555 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6540555 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 rs6540555 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
