near TTC29 · rs17576594

What the study found

Who was studied 462,690 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.016 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.02); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.22 — between genes, 85.2 kb from TTC29.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17576594

What is rs17576594?

rs17576594 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TTC29 gene. Published research associates it with lifetime smoking index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17576594 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 rs17576594 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Psychological medicine 2020, PMID:31689377. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
