What the study found

Who was studied 147,997 European ancestry cases, 575,269 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0109 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0072-0.0146); p = 8 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — a missense change in COL9A3.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs61734651

What is rs61734651?

rs61734651 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL9A3 gene. Published research associates it with age-related hearing impairment. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs61734651 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age-Related Hearing Loss. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs61734651 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 rs61734651 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2022, PMID:35580588. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
