A genome- and phenome-wide association study to identify genetic variants influencing platelet count and volume and their pleiotropic effects
AssociationN=13,582Khader Shameer et al.(2014)· Human Genetics

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of platelet count (PLT) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in 13,582 and 6,291 participants respectively from the eMERGE network identified 5 chromosomal regions associated with PLT and 8 with MPV at genome-wide significance (P<5E-8). Key findings include variants in ARHGEF3 (rs1354034, P=6E-24 for PLT; P=9E-34 for MPV), SH2B3 (rs3184504, P=5E-12), and multiple other loci. The study replicated 20 SNPs for PLT and 22 for MPV from prior meta-analyses and demonstrated pleiotropic effects with myocardial infarction, autoimmune, and hematologic disorders through phenome-wide association study (PheWAS).

About EHD3

Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytosolic transport; endocytic recycling; and protein homooligomerization. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to plasma membrane and regulation of cardiac muscle cell membrane potential. Located in ciliary pocket membrane and recycling endosome membrane.
