Red blood cell distribution width

near MPST · rs9610635

What the study found

Who was studied 153,950 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0536 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.062); p = 2 × 10−36.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q12.3 — between genes, 6.6 kb from MPST.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9610635

What is rs9610635?

rs9610635 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MPST gene. Published research associates it with red blood cell distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9610635 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 rs9610635 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
