Thyroid stimulating hormone levels

near LINC01804 · rs4471862

What the study found

Who was studied 482,873 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.022 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.026); p = 3 × 10−22.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.3 — between genes, 32.1 kb from LINC01804.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid stimulating hormone levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid stimulating hormone levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4471862

What is rs4471862?

rs4471862 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01804 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.

Does having rs4471862 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 rs4471862 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41238958. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
