Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration

ODF4 · rs8070734

What the study found

Who was studied 135,482 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0263 lower (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.034); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 37% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — in an intron of ODF4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8070734

What is rs8070734?

rs8070734 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ODF4 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular 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 rs8070734 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 rs8070734 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
