Where this position leads
Condition: Thyroid Cancer
Strength of the evidence
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 6,056 European ancestry cases, 907,977 European ancestry controls, 4,661 East Asian ancestry cases, 354,129 East Asian ancestry controls, 5,450 African, Admixed American, European, East Asian, South Asian or unknown ancestry cases, 1,168,268 African, Admixed American, European, East Asian, South Asian or unknown ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2 higher (95% confidence interval 1.31-2.68); p = 1 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.1 — between genes, 13.5 kb from RNU6-660P.
rs115317600 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-660P gene. Published research associates it with thyroid cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Thyroid Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
