C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Thyroid cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Thyroid cancer.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Thyroid cancer compared to the general population.

Questions about rs944289
What is rs944289?
rs944289 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NKX2-1 gene. Published research associates it with thyroid cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs944289 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Thyroid Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
What do people read about alongside rs944289?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers), cholesterol and blood fats (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs944289 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 rs944289 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19198613. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
