Macrocytic percentage of red cells

NPRL3 · rs8047658

What the study found

Who was studied 37,432 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0482 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.062); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in an intron of NPRL3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8047658

What is rs8047658?

rs8047658 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NPRL3 gene. Published research associates it with macrocytic percentage of red cells. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8047658 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 rs8047658 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
