Red cell distribution width - standard deviation

ZFAND4 · rs74436700

What the study found

Who was studied 39,313 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.168 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.21); p = 7 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q11.22 — a missense change in ZFAND4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs74436700

What is rs74436700?

rs74436700 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFAND4 gene. Published research associates it with red cell distribution width - standard deviation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs74436700 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 rs74436700 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
