Mitochondrial DNA copy number (raw)

THADA · rs17406646

What the study found

Who was studied 155,998 European ancestry individuals, 2,138 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 381 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 3,326 Central Asian ancestry individuals, 958 East Asian ancestry individuals, 571 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian) individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0387 higher (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.05); p = 5 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — in an intron of THADA.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Mitochondrial DNA copy number (raw). 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 Mitochondrial DNA copy number (raw). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Mitochondrial DNA copy number (raw). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17406646

What is rs17406646?

rs17406646 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THADA gene. Published research associates it with mitochondrial dna copy number (raw). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17406646 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 rs17406646 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2023, PMID:37587338. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
