Prothrombin time

MYH7B · rs2295888

What the study found

Who was studied 2,583 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 986 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.02 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.028); p = 5 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.22 — in an intron of EDEM2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2295888

What is rs2295888?

rs2295888 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYH7B gene. Published research associates it with prothrombin time. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2295888 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 rs2295888 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2012, PMID:22703881. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
