Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 7,440 African American individuals, 5,466 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 10,120 European ancestry individuals, 447 East Asian ancestry individuals, 12 individuals; replicated in 7,857 African ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.15 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.19); p = 5 × 10−10.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q23.3 — in a non-coding transcript of PECAM1.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Mean platelet volume. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Mean platelet volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Mean platelet volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs73345162 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PECAM1 gene. Published research associates it with mean platelet volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs73345162 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 rs73345162 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2022, PMID:34553764. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
