Who was studied 460,935 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0548 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.046-0.063); p = 4 × 10−35.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 95% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — in an intron of MSI2.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean platelet volume compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean platelet volume.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean platelet volume — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs80093687 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MSI2 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.
What conditions is rs80093687 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 rs80093687 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 rs80093687 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cell 2020, PMID:32888493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
