red blood cell count (RBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed)

LINC01122 · rs74515651

What the study found

Who was studied 114,767 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.118 higher (95% confidence interval 0.09-0.145); p = 5 × 10−17.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p16.1 — in an intron of LINC01122.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of red blood cell count (RBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed) compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with red blood cell count (RBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed).
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of red blood cell count (RBC, maximum, inv-norm transformed) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs74515651

What is rs74515651?

rs74515651 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01122 gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell count (rbc, maximum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs74515651 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 rs74515651 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
