Mean platelet volume

AF196970.3 · rs782602858

What the study found

Who was studied 408,112 British individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.149 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.18); p = 6 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xp11.23 — between genes, 12.3 kb from RNU6-1056P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs782602858

What is rs782602858?

rs782602858 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AF196970.3 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 rs782602858 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 rs782602858 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
