What the study found

Who was studied 36,984 European ancestry cases, 420,993 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.95 times the odds of Female genital tract polyps (95% confidence interval 0.93-0.97); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 71% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q27.2 — in an intron of IGF2BP2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Female genital tract polyps. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Female genital tract polyps. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Female genital tract polyps. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs16860234

What is rs16860234?

rs16860234 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGF2BP2 gene. Published research associates it with female genital tract polyps. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs16860234 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Female Genital Tract Polyps. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs16860234 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 rs16860234 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human reproduction (Oxford, England) 2025, PMID:39986329. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
