Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−16, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 38,891 European ancestry individuals, 1,661 Val Borbera (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 521 Carlantino (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,198 Friuli Venezia Giulia (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,213 South Tyrolean (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 890 Sorbian (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 4,292 Sardinian (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in Up to 16,949 European ancestry individuals, 854 Cliento (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 1,035 Talana (founder/genetic isolate) individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 3.59 10^9/l higher (95% confidence interval 2.49-4.68); p = 1 × 10−10.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8006385

What is rs8006385?

rs8006385 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ITPK1 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 rs8006385 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 rs8006385 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 rs8006385 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2011, PMID:22139419. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
