What the study found

Who was studied 24,832 European ancestry cases, 280,750 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0635 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.084); p = 6 × 10−10.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.3 — in an intron of STK25.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Medication use (thyroid preparations). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Medication use (thyroid preparations). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Medication use (thyroid preparations). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7596240

What is rs7596240?

rs7596240 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STK25 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (thyroid preparations). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7596240 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Medication Use as a Genetic Trait. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7596240 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 rs7596240 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31015401. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
