Hearing difficulty

PDCD6-DT · rs549592074

What the study found

Who was studied 45,502 European ancestry cases, 96,601 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.37 higher (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.68); p = 5 × 10−19.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.33 — a missense change in PDCD6-DT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs549592074

What is rs549592074?

rs549592074 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PDCD6-DT gene. Published research associates it with hearing difficulty. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs549592074 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 rs549592074 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2023, PMID:36788145. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
