What the study found
Who was studied 6,442 European ancestry cases, 736,566 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.16 times the odds of Hyperthyroidism (95% confidence interval 1.12-1.21); p = 2 × 10−13.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.2 — in an intron of MAFTRR.
rs11865979 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAFTRR gene. Published research associates it with hyperthyroidism. 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.
