Gestational thrombocytopenia

ST3GAL4 · rs11220476

What the study found

Who was studied 11,138 Chinese ancestry cases, 85,294 Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.83 times the odds of Gestational thrombocytopenia (95% confidence interval 0.79-0.87); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q24.2 — in an intron of ST3GAL4.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Gestational thrombocytopenia. 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 Gestational thrombocytopenia. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Gestational thrombocytopenia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11220476

What is rs11220476?

rs11220476 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ST3GAL4 gene. Published research associates it with gestational thrombocytopenia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11220476 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 rs11220476 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Blood 2024, PMID:38064665. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
