Mean corpuscular volume

near OR5BA1P · rs78587207

What the study found

Who was studied 362,595 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.07 % higher (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.1); p = 8 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.1 — between genes, 20.2 kb from OR5BA1P.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/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 rs78587207

What is rs78587207?

rs78587207 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near OR5BA1P 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 rs78587207 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 rs78587207 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2021, PMID:34104963. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
