near LRRC8C · rs3114670

What the study found

Who was studied 484,042 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry, European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American and South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−21.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p22.2 — between genes, 8.5 kb from LRRC8C.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Mean platelet volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mean platelet volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean platelet volume. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3114670

What is rs3114670?

rs3114670 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LRRC8C 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 rs3114670 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 rs3114670 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.
