Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Platelet count — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Platelet count.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Platelet count compared to the general population.

Questions about rs117672662
What is rs117672662?
rs117672662 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACTN1 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 rs117672662 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 rs117672662 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2016, PMID:26805783. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
