Reticulocyte fraction of red cells

near PLPP3 · rs72664303

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0447 lower (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.052); p = 5 × 10−34.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.2 — between genes, 14.8 kb from PLPP3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72664303

What is rs72664303?

rs72664303 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PLPP3 gene. Published research associates it with reticulocyte fraction of red cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72664303 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 rs72664303 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
