What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Platelet count — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2011, PMID:22139419)
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Platelet count. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2011, PMID:22139419)
C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Platelet count compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2011, PMID:22139419)

Questions about rs17824620

What is rs17824620?

rs17824620 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RPH3A 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 rs17824620 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 rs17824620 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2011, PMID:22139419. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
