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 0.0576 lower (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.073); p = 8 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q14.11 — between genes, 30.4 kb from SNORD116.

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/T One copy of the version the research linked to Uterine fibroids. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Uterine fibroids. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2324459

What is rs2324459?

rs2324459 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SNORD116 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 rs2324459 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 rs2324459 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 rs2324459 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.
