Hemoglobin concentration

near EPB41L4A · rs80079800

What the study found

Who was studied 746,431 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 6 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q22.1 — between genes, 33.5 kb from EPB41L4A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs80079800

What is rs80079800?

rs80079800 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EPB41L4A gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs80079800 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 rs80079800 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
