OR5V1 · rs9257802

What the study found

Who was studied 52,141 European ancestry females; replicated in 89,584 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0354 lower; p = 2 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — in an intron of OR5V1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hemoglobin concentration — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hemoglobin concentration.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hemoglobin concentration compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9257802

What is rs9257802?

rs9257802 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OR5V1 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.

Does having rs9257802 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 rs9257802 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.
