What the study found

Who was studied 153,950 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0504 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.058); p = 2 × 10−36.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p13 — between genes, 0.6 kb from PDYN-AS1.

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

Questions about rs761244

What is rs761244?

rs761244 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PDYN-AS1 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 rs761244 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 rs761244 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 rs761244 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.
