Mitochondrial DNA copy number (raw)

near TUBGCP6 · rs55955211

What the study found

Who was studied 155,998 European ancestry individuals, 2,138 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 381 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 3,326 Central Asian ancestry individuals, 958 East Asian ancestry individuals, 571 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian) individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0444 lower (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.058); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.33 — between genes, 0 kb from TUBGCP6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55955211

What is rs55955211?

rs55955211 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TUBGCP6 gene. Published research associates it with mitochondrial dna copy number (raw). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55955211 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 rs55955211 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2023, PMID:37587338. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
