Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 1,840 European ancestry cases, 49,983 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.192 higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.26); p = 4 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — in an intron of SCIRT.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hyperthyroidism — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hyperthyroidism.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hyperthyroidism compared to the general population.

Questions about rs66760320

What is rs66760320?

rs66760320 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VEGFA gene. Published research associates it with hyperthyroidism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs66760320 linked to?

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

Does having rs66760320 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 rs66760320 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30367059. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
