The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.022 higher (95% confidence interval -); p = 9 × 10−36.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — in an intron of TAF8.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (Y chromosome dosage) compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (Y chromosome dosage).
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (Y chromosome dosage) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs10948011
What is rs10948011?
rs10948011 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TAF8 gene. Published research associates it with mosaic loss of chromosome y (y chromosome dosage). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs10948011 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Mosaic Loss of Chromosome Y. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs10948011 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 rs10948011 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:31624269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
