Red blood cell count

JMJD1C · rs72829173

What the study found

Who was studied 545,203 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0375 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.048); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.3 — in an intron of JMJD1C.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Red blood cell count. 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 Red blood cell count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72829173

What is rs72829173?

rs72829173 is a single position in the genome, in or near the JMJD1C gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72829173 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 rs72829173 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
