Who was studied 350,474 European ancestry individuals, 148,623 East Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0505 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.056); p = 5 × 10−63.
Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — between genes, 50.2 kb from IRS2.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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.
rs11618989 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IRS2 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 rs11618989 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts, Colon Polyp. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs11618989 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 rs11618989 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
