Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 62,553 European ancestry individuals, 9,308 South Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 63,506 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.364 higher (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.46); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁶.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q11.21 — in an intron of LOC105378286.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Red blood cell traits. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell traits. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Red blood cell traits. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs901683

What is rs901683?

rs901683 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MARCH8 gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell traits. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs901683 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 rs901683 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 rs901683 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2012, PMID:23222517. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
