Who was studied 166,066 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0831 lower (95% confidence interval 0.066-0.1); p = 4 × 10−21.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of SNHG32.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs115487693 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C6orf48 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs115487693 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 rs115487693 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 rs115487693 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
