Mitochondrial heteroplasmy measurement

TWNK · rs58678340

What the study found

Who was studied 982,072 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.026 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.033); p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q24.31 — in an intron of LZTS2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs58678340

What is rs58678340?

rs58678340 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TWNK gene. Published research associates it with mitochondrial heteroplasmy measurement. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs58678340 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 rs58678340 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2021, PMID:33731350. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
