LRRK2 · rs2638272

What the study found

Who was studied 97,007 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 40,412 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 3,825 East Asian ancestry individuals, 335,593 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0291 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.036); p = 1 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q12 — in an intron of LRRK2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to mean platelet volume (MPV, maximum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to mean platelet volume (MPV, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to mean platelet volume (MPV, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2638272

What is rs2638272?

rs2638272 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRRK2 gene. Published research associates it with mean platelet volume (mpv, maximum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2638272 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 rs2638272 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
