Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 460,935 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0142 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.018); p = 2 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 71% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q14 — in an intron of SLC12A6.

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 rs8039126

What is rs8039126?

rs8039126 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC12A6 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 rs8039126 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 rs8039126 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.
