C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Venous thromboembolism — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Blood 2016, PMID:26888256)
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Venous thromboembolism. (GWAS Catalog, Blood 2016, PMID:26888256)
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Venous thromboembolism compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Blood 2016, PMID:26888256)

Questions about rs1998081
What is rs1998081?
rs1998081 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THBD gene. Published research associates it with venous thromboembolism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs1998081 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Venous Thromboembolism. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs1998081 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 rs1998081 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Blood 2016, PMID:26888256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
