TL;DR: A high-powered meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in up to 66,867 individuals of European ancestry is carried out, identifying 68 genomic loci reliably associated with platelet count and volume mapping to established and putative novel regulators of megakaryopoiesis and platelet formation.
