Platelet distribution width variance

SIRT3 · rs3843620

What the study found

Who was studied 391,449 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0288 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.035); p = 4 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — in an intron of SIRT3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3843620

What is rs3843620?

rs3843620 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SIRT3 gene. Published research associates it with platelet distribution width variance. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3843620 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 rs3843620 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40335489. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
