Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 235 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.177 higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.2); p = 1 × 10−46.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.1 — in an intron of EIF2AK1.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed) compared to the general population.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed).
T/T
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs111446081
What is rs111446081?
rs111446081 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EIF2AK1 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs111446081 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 rs111446081 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
