HECTD4 · rs55843500
Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 235,256 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 100,764 European ancestry individuals.
The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−38.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 95% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.13 — in an intron of HECTD4.
rs55843500 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HECTD4 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.
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.
