Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0231 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.03); p = 6 × 10−12.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q11.2 — in an intron of TAF4B.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Red blood cell erythrocyte count (UKB data field 30010). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell erythrocyte count (UKB data field 30010). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell erythrocyte count (UKB data field 30010). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72880146
What is rs72880146?
rs72880146 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TAF4B gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell erythrocyte count (ukb data field 30010). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72880146 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 rs72880146 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 rs72880146 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.
