What the study found

Who was studied 114,767 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 55,750 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,943 East Asian ancestry individuals, 405,357 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0237 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.03); p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 65% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.1 — in an intron of ACO1.

What each result means

C/C 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.
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 (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.

Questions about rs7874563

What is rs7874563?

rs7874563 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACO1 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 rs7874563 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 rs7874563 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.
