Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.136 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.15); p = 3 × 10−150.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p11.21 — in an intron of ANK1.
What each result means
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte count (UKB data field 30250). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte count (UKB data field 30250). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte count (UKB data field 30250). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72638983
What is rs72638983?
rs72638983 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANK1 gene. Published research associates it with reticulocyte count (ukb data field 30250). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72638983 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs72638983 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 rs72638983 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
