High fluorescence immature platelet fraction

CAPZA2 · rs4808

What the study found

Who was studied 36,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0716 SD units higher (95% confidence interval 0.055-0.088); p = 7 × 10−18.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.2 — a synonymous change in CAPZA2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4808

What is rs4808?

rs4808 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CAPZA2 gene. Published research associates it with high fluorescence immature platelet fraction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4808 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 rs4808 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.
