What is the rs2834925 variant?

rs2834925 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the RUNX1 (RUNX Family Transcription Factor 1) gene. It belongs to the Immune Signaling category and is part of the Coagulation & Microcirculation biological cluster. RUNX1 encodes a master hematopoietic transcription factor critical for platelet and T cell development.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the RUNX1 gene, which is involved in the hematopoiesis / platelet development pathway. Genes within the Coagulation & Microcirculation cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.

rs2834925 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research

RUNX1 drives megakaryocyte differentiation and platelet formation; variants may affect platelet biology and susceptibility to platelet hyperactivation in Long COVID.
