What the study found
Who was studied 35,474 European ancestry uterine leiomyomata cases, 267,505 European ancestry controls, 201,323 European ancestry individuals with age at natural menopause measurements.
The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−11.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q12.1 — in an intron of HEATR3-AS1.
rs12599260 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HEATR3-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with age at natural menopause or uterine leiomyomata (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
