Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 53,711 European ancestry female cases, 380,441 European ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.048 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.063); p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.1 — in an intron of TNRC6B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2103648

What is rs2103648?

rs2103648 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.

What conditions is rs2103648 linked to?

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

Does having rs2103648 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 rs2103648 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40050615. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
