Red cell distribution width

PIPOX · rs9891553

What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.05 lower (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.064); p = 7 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q11.2 — in an intron of PIPOX.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Red cell distribution width. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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 rs9891553

What is rs9891553?

rs9891553 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PIPOX 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 rs9891553 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 rs9891553 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
