Who was studied 542,827 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0227 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.029); p = 4 × 10−14.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q25.1 — in an intron of WBP2.

ClinVar record 1273076NM_012478.4(WBP2):c.59+207G>T
What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs55868394 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WBP2 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.
What conditions is rs55868394 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 rs55868394 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 rs55868394 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
