What the study found

Who was studied 14,764 European ancestry cases, 2,091,602 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0766 lower (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.101); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q32 — in a regulatory region of SH3TC2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs35836716

What is rs35836716?

rs35836716 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SH3TC2 gene. Published research associates it with thyroid cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs35836716 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 rs35836716 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 rs35836716 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.
