Platelet side scatter

STK38 · rs3798471

What the study found

Who was studied 29,675 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0634 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.082); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of STK38.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet side scatter. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet side scatter. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Platelet side scatter. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3798471

What is rs3798471?

rs3798471 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STK38 gene. Published research associates it with platelet side scatter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3798471 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 rs3798471 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37596262. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
