What the study found

Who was studied 46,904 European ancestry males; replicated in 80,822 European ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0521 higher; p = 7 × 10−32.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.31 — in an intron of MAPT.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin concentration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin concentration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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.

Questions about rs8070723

What is rs8070723?

rs8070723 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAPT 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.

What conditions is rs8070723 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs8070723 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 rs8070723 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of nutritional biochemistry 2023, PMID:35964923. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
