The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.469 higher (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.58); p = 2 × 10−15.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q13.3 — in an intron of LINC00609.
What each result means
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Benign nodular goiter compared to the general population.
G/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Benign nodular goiter.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Benign nodular goiter — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs191713023
What is rs191713023?
rs191713023 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MBIP gene. Published research associates it with benign nodular goiter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs191713023 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Benign Nodular Goiter. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs191713023 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 rs191713023 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41644669. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
