Platelet count during second trimester of pregnancy

MYL2 · rs2040571

What the study found

Who was studied 72,816 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0634 higher (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.079); p = 8 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.11 — in an intron of MYL2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Platelet count during second trimester of pregnancy. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count during second trimester of pregnancy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count during second trimester of pregnancy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2040571

What is rs2040571?

rs2040571 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYL2 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count during second trimester of pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2040571 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 rs2040571 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Blood 2024, PMID:38064665. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
