What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Polycystic ovary syndrome compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21151128)

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Polycystic ovary syndrome. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21151128)

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Polycystic ovary syndrome — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21151128)

Questions about rs12478601

What is rs12478601?

rs12478601 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFP36L2 gene. Published research associates it with polycystic ovary syndrome. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12478601 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 rs12478601 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:21151128. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
