What the study found

Who was studied 14,392 African American individuals, 13,985 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 32,129 European ancestry individuals, 681 East Asian ancestry individuals, 13 individuals; replicated in 10,664 individuals, 10,694 African American individuals, 7,287 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 7,857 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 15.2 lower (95% confidence interval 13.27-17.08); p = 3 × 10−55.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.12 — in an intron of TPM4.

What each result means

A/A Two 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/C One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73517714

What is rs73517714?

rs73517714 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TPM4 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.

What conditions is rs73517714 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Cell Counts. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs73517714 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 rs73517714 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.
