Where this position leads

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Red blood cell traits compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Red blood cell traits.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Red blood cell traits — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7120391

What is rs7120391?

rs7120391 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NA gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell traits. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7120391 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 rs7120391 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 rs7120391 come from?

GWAS Catalog, G3 (Bethesda) 2013, PMID:23696099. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
