Overt hyperthyroidism in pregnancy

LINC01586 · rs28687418

What the study found

Who was studied 1,648 Chinese ancestry cases, 68,140 Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.78 times the odds of Overt hyperthyroidism in pregnancy (95% confidence interval 1.62-1.96); p = 5 × 10−32.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.1 — in an intron of LINC01586.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Overt hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. 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 Overt hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Overt hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs28687418

What is rs28687418?

rs28687418 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01586 gene. Published research associates it with overt hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs28687418 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 rs28687418 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39266554. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
