Mean spheric corpuscular volume

near RN7SL51P · rs72803383

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0222 lower (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.028); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p15 — between genes, 30.5 kb from RN7SL51P.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean spheric corpuscular volume. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mean spheric corpuscular volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mean spheric corpuscular volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72803383

What is rs72803383?

rs72803383 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SL51P gene. Published research associates it with mean spheric corpuscular volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72803383 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 rs72803383 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.
