WWOX · rs185917321

What the study found

Who was studied 271 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,449 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 367 European ancestry cases, 450,690 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2.54 lower (95% confidence interval 2.5-2.58); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.1 — in an intron of WWOX.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Toxic multinodular goiter (PheCode 242.2) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Toxic multinodular goiter (PheCode 242.2).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Toxic multinodular goiter (PheCode 242.2) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs185917321

What is rs185917321?

rs185917321 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WWOX gene. Published research associates it with toxic multinodular goiter (phecode 242.2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs185917321 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 rs185917321 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.
