Platelet distribution width

TUBB1 · rs139473150

What the study found

Who was studied 164,433 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.05 higher (95% confidence interval 0.83-1.27); p = 8 × 10−21.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.32 — a missense change in TUBB1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Uncertain significance; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2024-09-14. ClinVar record 2071900 NM_030773.4(TUBB1):c.860C>T (p.Ala287Val)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs139473150

What is rs139473150?

rs139473150 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TUBB1 gene. Published research associates it with platelet distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs139473150 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 rs139473150 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
