IKZF1 · rs11765436

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0157 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.02); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p12.2 — in the 5′ untranslated region of IKZF1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11765436

What is rs11765436?

rs11765436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IKZF1 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.

Does having rs11765436 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 rs11765436 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.
