What the study found

Who was studied 4,627 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 9,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.01 fl higher (95% confidence interval 0.009-0.017); p = 1 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — inside BET1L.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11602954

What is rs11602954?

rs11602954 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BET1L gene. Published research associates it with mean platelet volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11602954 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 rs11602954 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 rs11602954 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19820697. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
