ADAMTS13 rs281875305: what the research says

rs281875305
Reproductive
Limited evidenceGene: ADAMTS13

This pathogenic variant is linked to Upshaw-Schulman syndrome, which can cause severe complications during pregnancy.

What each genotype means

G/GLower attention

Typical ADAMTS13 activity

This is the common, wild-type genotype for this position in the ADAMTS13 gene. Individuals with this genotype do not carry the specific pathogenic variant associated with Upshaw-Schulman syndrome at this location.

This is the most common genotype found in the general population.

A/GModerate attention

Carrier of rare variant

You carry one copy of the pathogenic A allele and one copy of the common G allele. While this variant is linked to Upshaw-Schulman syndrome, this condition typically follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, meaning carriers are generally asymptomatic; however, you should consult with a genetic counselor regarding family planning.

This genotype is very rare in the general population.

A/AHigher attention

Potential Upshaw-Schulman syndrome risk

You carry two copies of the pathogenic A allele, which is associated with Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura). This condition can lead to severe blood clotting complications, particularly during pregnancy, and requires clinical management by a hematologist.

This genotype is extremely rare and is primarily identified in clinical settings among individuals diagnosed with or suspected of having congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
