What the study found

Who was studied 172,332 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0569 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.069); p = 1 × 10−21.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q22.2 — between genes, 7.9 kb from TBC1D4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9565170

What is rs9565170?

rs9565170 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TBC1D4 gene. Published research associates it with mean corpuscular hemoglobin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9565170 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 rs9565170 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 rs9565170 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
