Female infertility (all causes)

SYNE1 · rs17803970

What the study found

Who was studied 42,629 European, South Asian, African American or Afro-Caribbean and other admixed ancestry female cases, 740,619 European, South Asian, African American or Afro-Caribbean and other admixed ancestry female cases female controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.91 times the odds of Female infertility (all causes) (95% confidence interval 0.889-0.939); p = 5 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.2 — in an intron of SYNE1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Female infertility (all causes). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Female infertility (all causes). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Female infertility (all causes). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17803970

What is rs17803970?

rs17803970 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SYNE1 gene. Published research associates it with female infertility (all causes). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17803970 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 rs17803970 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40229599. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
