Severe hearing loss or partial deafness in one or both ears

near SETBP1-DT · rs1563992

What the study found

Who was studied 106,155 European ancestry cases, 209,513 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0471 lower (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.061); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.3 — between genes, 11.1 kb from SETBP1-DT.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Severe hearing loss or partial deafness in one or both ears. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Severe hearing loss or partial deafness in one or both ears. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Severe hearing loss or partial deafness in one or both ears. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1563992

What is rs1563992?

rs1563992 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SETBP1-DT gene. Published research associates it with severe hearing loss or partial deafness in one or both ears. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1563992 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 rs1563992 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
