Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
Strength of the evidence
1 / 4
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−11, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
How this is scored
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 458 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,228 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 912 European ancestry cases, 449,913 European ancestry controls, 229 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,570 Hispanic or Latin American controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 3.43 lower (95% confidence interval 3.41-3.45); p = 7 × 10−12.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.2 — between genes, 5.1 kb from MECOM.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Pituitary hyperfunction (PheCode 253.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Pituitary hyperfunction (PheCode 253.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Pituitary hyperfunction (PheCode 253.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs537681478
What is rs537681478?
rs537681478 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MECOM gene. Published research associates it with pituitary hyperfunction (phecode 253.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs537681478 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 rs537681478 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
