What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Testicular germ cell tumor compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19483681)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Testicular germ cell tumor. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19483681)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Testicular germ cell tumor — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19483681)

What is rs4624820?

rs4624820 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPRY4 gene. Published research associates it with testicular germ cell tumor. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs4624820?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include fertility (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 rs4624820 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 rs4624820 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19483681. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
