Questions about rs198833

What is rs198833?

rs198833 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HIST1H2BC gene. Published research associates it with plateletcrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs198833 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs198833 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 rs198833 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.
