Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−10, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 450 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,343 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,370 European ancestry cases, 448,487 European ancestry controls, 283 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,586 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.69 lower (95% confidence interval 2.66-2.73); p = 4 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.1 — between genes, 2.8 kb from ANKRD44.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Thyroid cancer (PheCode 193). 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 Thyroid cancer (PheCode 193). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid cancer (PheCode 193). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs191643749

What is rs191643749?

rs191643749 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ANKRD44 gene. Published research associates it with thyroid cancer (phecode 193). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs191643749 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 rs191643749 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 rs191643749 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.
