What the study found

Who was studied 52,141 European ancestry females; replicated in 89,584 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0514 lower; p = 2 × 10−54.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.2 — between genes, 16.7 kb from H3C9P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs994379

What is rs994379?

rs994379 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near H3C9P gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin concentration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs994379 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 rs994379 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 rs994379 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of nutritional biochemistry 2023, PMID:35964923. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
