What the study found

Who was studied 481,874 European ancestry individuals, 11,819 Hispanic cases, 20,869 Hispanic controls, 18,216 African ancestry cases, 64,127 African ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.5 z score higher; p = 8 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q21.3 — inside MGLL.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Tinnitus. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Tinnitus. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Tinnitus. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs16845806

What is rs16845806?

rs16845806 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MGLL gene. Published research associates it with tinnitus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16845806 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 rs16845806 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:38242899. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
