platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed)

HSD17B13 · rs13130041

What the study found

Who was studied 114,731 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 55,759 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,948 East Asian ancestry individuals, 407,021 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0437 lower (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.051); p = 2 × 10−28.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 78% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q22.1 — in an intron of HSD17B13.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs13130041

What is rs13130041?

rs13130041 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HSD17B13 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count (mean, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13130041 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 rs13130041 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
