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 T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p11.2 — a missense change in AKAP10.

What ClinVar records

Classification Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity for Reclassified - variant of unknown significance, AKAP10-related disorder; no assertion criteria provided (0 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2019-10-17. ClinVar record 5404 NM_007202.4(AKAP10):c.1936A>G (p.Ile646Val)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.

Questions about rs203462

What is rs203462?

rs203462 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AKAP10 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.

What conditions is rs203462 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 rs203462 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 rs203462 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.
