Fetal hemoglobin in Sickle cell disease (HbSS or HbSB0) (conditional analysis)

near OR52J3 · rs72873904

What the study found

Who was studied 584 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.467 higher (95% confidence interval 0.3-0.63); p = 4 × 10−8.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Fetal hemoglobin in Sickle cell disease (HbSS or HbSB0) (conditional analysis). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Fetal hemoglobin in Sickle cell disease (HbSS or HbSB0) (conditional analysis). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Fetal hemoglobin in Sickle cell disease (HbSS or HbSB0) (conditional analysis). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72873904

What is rs72873904?

rs72873904 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near OR52J3 gene. Published research associates it with fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell disease (hbss or hbsb0) (conditional analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72873904 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 rs72873904 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Blood advances 2021, PMID:34283174. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
