rs867186 is a SNP that can indicate haplotype H3 of the EPCR gene. The protein product of the EPCR gene activates a part of the anticoagulation pathway. While the rs867186(A) allele could indicate haplotypes H1, H2 or H4, the rs867186(G) allele distinctly tags (identifies) the H3 haplotype. While most groups studying EPCR H3 agree that it leads to increased soluble EPCR, and thus should theoretically lead to reduced risk for venous thromboembolism, different groups come to different conclusions about the effect in the populations each studies. Two find no association PMID 15304035, PMID 15116250 while one finds that the H3 haplotype (and thus rs867186(G)) actually increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), with an odds ratio of 1.80, p=0.004.
