NUP205 · rs77344608

What the study found

Who was studied 153,512 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0246 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.032); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q33 — in an intron of NUP205.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs77344608

What is rs77344608?

rs77344608 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NUP205 gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs77344608 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 rs77344608 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.
