What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0158 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.02); p = 7 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — between genes, 5.8 kb from POLR2A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (UKB data field 30060). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (UKB data field 30060). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (UKB data field 30060). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs8081619

What is rs8081619?

rs8081619 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near POLR2A gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (ukb data field 30060). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8081619 linked to?

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

Does having rs8081619 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 rs8081619 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
