near RN7SL222P · rs12223916

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0317 lower (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.039); p = 4 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q22.1 — between genes, 48.5 kb from RN7SL222P.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Plateletcrit. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Plateletcrit. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Plateletcrit. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12223916

What is rs12223916?

rs12223916 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SL222P gene. Published research associates it with plateletcrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12223916 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 rs12223916 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.
