Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 327,790 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.033 higher (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.039); p = 2 × 10⁻²³.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.1 — between genes, 0.9 kb from RFWD3.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Leukocyte telomere length compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Leukocyte telomere length.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Leukocyte telomere length — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11866592

What is rs11866592?

rs11866592 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RFWD3 gene. Published research associates it with leukocyte telomere length. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11866592 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 rs11866592 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GeroScience 2024, PMID:38837026. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
