near Metazoa_SRP · rs146512983

What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0808 lower (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.098); p = 3 × 10−20.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — between genes, 2.4 kb from Metazoa_SRP.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Platelet crit (UKB data field 30090) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Platelet crit (UKB data field 30090).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Platelet crit (UKB data field 30090) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs146512983

What is rs146512983?

rs146512983 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near Metazoa_SRP gene. Published research associates it with platelet crit (ukb data field 30090). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs146512983 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 rs146512983 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
