Platelet distribution width

near NELFCD · rs141887296

What the study found

Who was studied 164,433 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.444 higher (95% confidence interval 0.37-0.52); p = 8 × 10−35.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.32 — between genes, 30.1 kb from NELFCD.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet distribution width. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet distribution width. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs141887296

What is rs141887296?

rs141887296 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NELFCD 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 rs141887296 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 rs141887296 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.
