What the study found

Who was studied 481,874 European ancestry individuals, 11,819 Hispanic cases, 20,869 Hispanic controls, 18,216 African ancestry cases, 64,127 African ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 6.84 z score higher; p = 8 × 10−12.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.12 — in an intron of SHISA9.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Tinnitus. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Tinnitus. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Tinnitus. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4781383

What is rs4781383?

rs4781383 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SHISA9 gene. Published research associates it with tinnitus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4781383 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 rs4781383 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:38242899. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
