Platelet distribution width

PRDM16 · rs35864014

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0164 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.022); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.32 — in an intron of PRDM16.

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 rs35864014

What is rs35864014?

rs35864014 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRDM16 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 rs35864014 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 rs35864014 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.
