Platelet count

GGNBP1 · rs3846855

What the study found

Who was studied 20,218 Bangladeshi ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.099 higher (95% confidence interval 0.077-0.121); p = 6 × 10−21.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 66% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of GGNBP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3846855

What is rs3846855?

rs3846855 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GGNBP1 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3846855 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 rs3846855 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis 2023, PMID:37538507. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
