Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 110,558 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 51,938 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,549 East Asian ancestry individuals, 380,796 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.021 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.027); p = 2 × 10−12.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.3 — in an intron of ARFIP1.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to red cell diameter width (RDW, mean, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to red cell diameter width (RDW, mean, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to red cell diameter width (RDW, mean, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6848284
What is rs6848284?
rs6848284 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARFIP1 gene. Published research associates it with red cell diameter width (rdw, mean, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs6848284 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 rs6848284 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
