Questions about rs2736609

What is rs2736609?

rs2736609 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PMF1-BGLAP gene. Published research associates it with age at natural menopause. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2736609 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 rs2736609 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2021, PMID:34349265. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
