MSI2 · rs17834098

What the study found

Who was studied 114,799 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 55,776 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 5,949 East Asian ancestry individuals, 407,168 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.075 higher (95% confidence interval 0.057-0.093); p = 1 × 10−16.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — in an intron of MSI2.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to platelet count (minimum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to platelet count (minimum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to platelet count (minimum, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17834098

What is rs17834098?

rs17834098 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MSI2 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count (minimum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17834098 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 rs17834098 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
