What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hypothyroidism — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:22493691)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hypothyroidism. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:22493691)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hypothyroidism compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:22493691)

Questions about rs2517532

What is rs2517532?

rs2517532 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-C gene. Published research associates it with hypothyroidism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs2517532?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include infection and immunity (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2517532 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2517532 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2012, PMID:22493691. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
