Thyroid stimulating hormone levels

near DNAJC5B · rs59282311

What the study found

Who was studied 247,107 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 63,326 European ancestry individuals, 33,171 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0194 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.025); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 65% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q13.1 — between genes, 47.3 kb from DNAJC5B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs59282311

What is rs59282311?

rs59282311 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DNAJC5B gene. Published research associates it with thyroid stimulating hormone levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs59282311 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 rs59282311 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37872160. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
