Thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity in pregnancy

near IRF4 · rs9378805

What the study found

Who was studied 10,218 Chinese ancestry cases, 58,843 Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.19 times the odds of Thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity in pregnancy (95% confidence interval 1.14-1.24); p = 1 × 10−14.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.3 — between genes, 6.3 kb from IRF4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity in pregnancy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity in pregnancy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity in pregnancy. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9378805

What is rs9378805?

rs9378805 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IRF4 gene. Published research associates it with thyroid peroxidase antibody positivity in pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9378805 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 rs9378805 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39266554. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
