Platelet distribution width

RP11-226F19.1 · rs73275566

What the study found

Who was studied 164,433 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0496 lower (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.062); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.1 — between genes, 0.4 kb from RPS29P1.

What each result means

G/G 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.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet distribution width. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet distribution width. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73275566

What is rs73275566?

rs73275566 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-226F19.1 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 rs73275566 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 rs73275566 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2016, PMID:27863252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
