Who was studied 221,596 European ancestry cases, 1,564,466 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0322 higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.041); p = 4 × 10−13.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.3 — between genes, 3.3 kb from DNAJB6P4.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Hypothyroidism. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Hypothyroidism. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Hypothyroidism. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6677188
What is rs6677188?
rs6677188 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DNAJB6P4 gene. Published research associates it with hypothyroidism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6677188 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 rs6677188 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 rs6677188 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41644669. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
