What the study found

Who was studied 252,730 European ancestry, African ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American, South East Asian ancestry, South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0419 lower (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.049); p = 1 × 10−31.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p13 — in an intron of MITF.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs60438183

What is rs60438183?

rs60438183 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MITF gene. Published research associates it with jt interval. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs60438183 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 rs60438183 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36050321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
