Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0107 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0074-0.014); p = 2 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.3 — in an intron of NOS1AP.
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/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6684278
What is rs6684278?
rs6684278 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NOS1AP 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 rs6684278 affect how medicines work?
NOS1AP carries pharmacogenomic findings for QT-prolonging medicines. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.
Does having rs6684278 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 rs6684278 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
