What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0246 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.029); p = 3 × 10−36.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q13.1 — between genes, 8 kb from PDS5B.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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 rs9591137

What is rs9591137?

rs9591137 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PDS5B 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 rs9591137 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 rs9591137 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 rs9591137 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
