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 A allele shifted the measure 0.304 higher (95% confidence interval 0.22-0.39); p = 1 × 10−11.
Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q22.1 — a missense change in PIBF1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Thyroid cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17089782
What is rs17089782?
rs17089782 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PIBF1 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.
What conditions is rs17089782 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Thyroid Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs17089782 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 rs17089782 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42431967. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
