Platelet distribution width

SIGLEC5 · rs11669500

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0158 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.021); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.41 — in the 3′ untranslated region of SIGLEC14.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Platelet distribution width compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Platelet distribution width.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Platelet distribution width — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11669500

What is rs11669500?

rs11669500 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SIGLEC5 gene. Published research associates it with platelet 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 rs11669500 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 rs11669500 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
