TNRC6B · rs12484776

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Uterine fibroids — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21460842)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Uterine fibroids. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21460842)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Uterine fibroids compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21460842)

Questions about rs12484776

What is rs12484776?

rs12484776 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNRC6B gene. Published research associates it with uterine fibroids. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12484776 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 rs12484776 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21460842. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
