Red cell distribution width

near EIF1P3 · rs9650988

What the study found

Who was studied 531,774 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0199 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.026); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q25.3 — between genes, 2.6 kb from EIF1P3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9650988

What is rs9650988?

rs9650988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EIF1P3 gene. Published research associates it with red 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 rs9650988 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 rs9650988 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
