Age-related hearing impairment

near RPL6P1 · rs4660885

What the study found

Who was studied 147,997 European ancestry cases, 575,269 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0065 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0047-0.0083); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.1 — between genes, 3.2 kb from RPL6P1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Age-related hearing impairment. 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 Age-related hearing impairment. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Age-related hearing impairment. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4660885

What is rs4660885?

rs4660885 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL6P1 gene. Published research associates it with age-related hearing impairment. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4660885 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 rs4660885 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2022, PMID:35580588. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
