What each result means

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

Questions about rs4571283

What is rs4571283?

rs4571283 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VEGFC 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 rs4571283 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 rs4571283 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 rs4571283 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2020, PMID:32769997. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
