Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0222 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.028); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁵.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q14.11 — in an intron of ELF1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean corpuscular hemoglobin. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9566656

What is rs9566656?

rs9566656 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELF1 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 rs9566656 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 rs9566656 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 rs9566656 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
