What the study found

Who was studied 50,603 European ancestry cases, 1,756,950 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0479 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.063); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q13.2 — in an intron of SULF1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Benign nodular goiter — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Benign nodular goiter.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Benign nodular goiter compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1441197

What is rs1441197?

rs1441197 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SULF1 gene. Published research associates it with benign nodular goiter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1441197 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Benign Nodular Goiter. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1441197 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 rs1441197 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41644669. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
