Age-related hearing impairment

LINC01994 · rs72622585

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 0.0091 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0066-0.0116); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 83% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.33 — in an intron of LINC01994.

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 rs72622585

What is rs72622585?

rs72622585 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01994 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.

Does having rs72622585 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 rs72622585 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.
