near RPS20P23 · rs75397706

What the study found

Who was studied 129,832 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0666 lower (95% confidence interval 0.046-0.087); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q22.3 — between genes, 2.2 kb from RPS20P23.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs75397706

What is rs75397706?

rs75397706 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPS20P23 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs75397706 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 rs75397706 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
