A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Tonsillectomy compared to the general population.
A/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Tonsillectomy.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Tonsillectomy — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6032664
What is rs6032664?
rs6032664 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NCOA5 gene. Published research associates it with tonsillectomy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6032664 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Tonsillectomy (Throat Infection Susceptibility). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6032664 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 rs6032664 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28928442. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
