Who was studied 4,511 European ancestry cases, 227,260 European ancestry controls, 1,786 East Asian ancestry cases, 80,975 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.186 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.24); p = 5 × 10−12.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.1 — in an intron of CCDC170.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Endometriosis compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Endometriosis.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Endometriosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs12173791 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CCDC170 gene. Published research associates it with endometriosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs12173791 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Endometriosis and Depression: Shared Genetics. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs12173791 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 rs12173791 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
