What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Thyroid stimulating hormone levels compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Thyroid stimulating hormone levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Thyroid stimulating hormone levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs5997969

What is rs5997969?

rs5997969 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01521 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.

What conditions is rs5997969 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs5997969 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 rs5997969 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2020, PMID:32769997. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
