PI4KA · rs117357866

What the study found

Who was studied 721,201 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q11.21 — in an intron of PI4KA.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two 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.

Questions about rs117357866

What is rs117357866?

rs117357866 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PI4KA 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.

Does having rs117357866 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 rs117357866 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
