Hematocrit

near NTPCR · rs73101498

What the study found

Who was studied 562,259 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0264 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.034); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.2 — between genes, 38.1 kb from NTPCR.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73101498

What is rs73101498?

rs73101498 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NTPCR gene. Published research associates it with hematocrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73101498 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 rs73101498 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.
