Platelet forward scatter distribution width

BET1L · rs11605246

What the study found

Who was studied 29,618 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.114 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.095-0.133); p = 3 × 10−31.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — in an intron of BET1L.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11605246

What is rs11605246?

rs11605246 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BET1L gene. Published research associates it with platelet forward scatter distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11605246 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 rs11605246 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
