Platelet count

near AK3 · rs149524498

What the study found

Who was studied 235,256 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 100,764 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p24.1 — between genes, 12.2 kb from AK3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs149524498

What is rs149524498?

rs149524498 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near AK3 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs149524498 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 rs149524498 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2021, PMID:34469753. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
