Platelet distribution width

GP1BA · rs56337033

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.263 higher (95% confidence interval 0.22-0.3); p = 2 × 10−35.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.2 — in the 5′ untranslated region of CHRNE.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs56337033

What is rs56337033?

rs56337033 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GP1BA gene. Published research associates it with platelet distribution width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56337033 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 rs56337033 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
