Thyroid stimulating hormone levels

TM4SF4 · rs28502438

Where this position leads

Condition: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Levels

What the study found

Who was studied 54,288 European ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 22,383 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.035 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.047); p = 7 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q25.1 — in an intron of TM4SF4.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid stimulating hormone levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid stimulating hormone levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Thyroid stimulating hormone levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs28502438

What is rs28502438?

rs28502438 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TM4SF4 gene. Published research associates it with thyroid stimulating hormone levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs28502438 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs28502438 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 rs28502438 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30367059. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
