Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q25.1 — in an intron of ITPRIP-AS1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean platelet volume — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean platelet volume.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean platelet volume compared to the general population.

Questions about rs276220

What is rs276220?

rs276220 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ITPRIP-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with mean platelet volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs276220 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 rs276220 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.
