PRDM16 · rs61759167
Where this position leads
Condition: Migraine
What the study found
Who was studied 5,521 European ancestry cases, 114,323 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.151 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.2); p = 8 × 10−11.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.32 — in an intron of PRDM16.
rs61759167 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRDM16 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (antimigraine preparations). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Migraine. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
