High light scatter reticulocyte count

R3HDM4 · rs78580402

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.112 lower (95% confidence interval 0.092-0.131); p = 2 × 10−29.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.3 — a missense change in R3HDM4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78580402

What is rs78580402?

rs78580402 is a single position in the genome, in or near the R3HDM4 gene. Published research associates it with high light scatter reticulocyte count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78580402 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 rs78580402 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
