Platelet distribution width

KALRN · rs333288

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0208 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.026); p = 9 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q21.2 — in an intron of KALRN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs333288

What is rs333288?

rs333288 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KALRN gene. Published research associates it with platelet distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs333288 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 rs333288 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
