What the study found

Who was studied 196,243 European ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.252 higher (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.34); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 78% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q21.3 — between genes, 188.6 kb from LINC00648.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Number of sexual partners in opposite-sex sexual behavior. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Number of sexual partners in opposite-sex sexual behavior. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Number of sexual partners in opposite-sex sexual behavior. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11627454

What is rs11627454?

rs11627454 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00648 gene. Published research associates it with number of sexual partners in opposite-sex sexual behavior. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11627454 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 rs11627454 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2021, PMID:34426668. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
