Fetal hemoglobin levels

near HBS1L · rs9389271

What the study found

Who was studied 22,882 European ancestry individuals, 4,005 African ancestry individuals, 1,392 Thai ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.00134 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0012-0.0015); p = 5 × 10−113.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9389271

What is rs9389271?

rs9389271 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HBS1L gene. Published research associates it with fetal hemoglobin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9389271 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 rs9389271 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2026, PMID:42816612. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
