PXT1 · rs76676074

What the study found

Who was studied 21,347 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.169 higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.22); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 86% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.31 — in an intron of PXT1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs76676074

What is rs76676074?

rs76676074 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PXT1 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 rs76676074 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 rs76676074 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC genomics 2021, PMID:34107879. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
