Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0265 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.032); p = 2 × 10−19.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p22.3 — in an intron of YIPF4.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte percentage (UKB data field 30240). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte percentage (UKB data field 30240). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Reticulocyte percentage (UKB data field 30240). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72798738
What is rs72798738?
rs72798738 is a single position in the genome, in or near the YIPF4 gene. Published research associates it with reticulocyte percentage (ukb data field 30240). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72798738 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 rs72798738 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 rs72798738 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.
