CTC-782O7.1 · rs72899729

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0763 higher (95% confidence interval 0.056-0.096); p = 8 × 10−14.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.3 — in an intron of LINC01478.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72899729

What is rs72899729?

rs72899729 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTC-782O7.1 gene. Published research associates it with plateletcrit. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72899729 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 rs72899729 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.
