▶A genome- and phenome-wide association study to identify genetic variants influencing platelet count and volume and their pleiotropic effectsAssociationN=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 SH2B3
This gene encodes a member of the SH2B adaptor family of proteins, which are involved in a range of signaling activities by growth factor and cytokine receptors. The encoded protein is a key negative regulator of cytokine signaling and plays a critical role in hematopoiesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to celiac disease type 13 and susceptibility to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
