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.
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 T allele shifted the measure 0.0999 lower (95% confidence interval 0.078-0.121); p = 1 × 10−19.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.1 — in an intron of TFAM.
rs578069621 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TFAM gene. Published research associates it with mitochondrial dna copy number (adjusted). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
