What the study found

Who was studied 15,171 African American or Afro-Caribbean and African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0897 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.061-0.118); p = 7 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.11 — in a regulatory region of CD36.

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 rs11772036

What is rs11772036?

rs11772036 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CD36 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 rs11772036 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11772036 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 rs11772036 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.
