Who was studied 397,338 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0134 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0092-0.0176); p = 5 × 10−10.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.1 — in an intron of TOMM20L-DT.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Age at first sexual intercourse. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Age at first sexual intercourse. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Age at first sexual intercourse. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12878359
What is rs12878359?
rs12878359 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARID4A gene. Published research associates it with age at first sexual intercourse. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs12878359 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age at First Sexual Intercourse. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs12878359 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 rs12878359 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2021, PMID:34211149. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
