What the study found

Who was studied 15,171 African American or Afro-Caribbean and African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0884 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.113); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — between genes, 21.6 kb from RN7SL26P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs210183

What is rs210183?

rs210183 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near BAK1 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 rs210183 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 rs210183 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 rs210183 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
