Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
How this is scored
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 12,776 African ancestry cases, 195,306 African ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.512 higher (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.69); p = 2 × 10−8.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.22 — in an intron of TG.
What each result means
C/CTwo 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.
C/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 rs76016834
What is rs76016834?
rs76016834 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TG 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 rs76016834 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 rs76016834 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 rs76016834 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.
