What the study found
Who was studied 306 Chinese ancestry male cases, 3,516 Chinese ancestry controls.
The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−10.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 79% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HCP5.
rs112723370 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HCP5 gene. Published research associates it with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
