What the study found

Who was studied 278 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 55,227 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 4,047 European ancestry cases, 311,621 European ancestry controls, 235 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 29,079 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 3.02 lower (95% confidence interval 2.99-3.05); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q21.3 — between genes, 7.2 kb from TPRA1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs559557961

What is rs559557961?

rs559557961 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TPRA1 gene. Published research associates it with parkinson's disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs559557961 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Parkinson's Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs559557961 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 rs559557961 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.
