What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0731 higher (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.083); p = 2 × 10−49.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HLA-B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3819282

What is rs3819282?

rs3819282 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-B gene. Published research associates it with plateletcrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does rs3819282 affect how medicines work?

HLA-B carries pharmacogenomic findings for Abacavir, Allopurinol, Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs3819282 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 rs3819282 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.
