What the study found

Who was studied 164,454 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.037 higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.044); p = 6 × 10−24.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.4 — in the 5′ untranslated region of TRIM5.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean platelet volume compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean platelet volume.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean platelet volume — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs3824949

What is rs3824949?

rs3824949 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TRIM5 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.

What conditions is rs3824949 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs3824949 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 rs3824949 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
