RTL9 · rs2883091

What the study found

Who was studied 102,635 European ancestry males, 27,736 African American or Afro-Caribbean males, 13,328 Admixed American ancestry males, 1,690 East Asian ancestry males.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0876 lower (95% confidence interval 0.075-0.1); p = 3 × 10−45.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq23 — in an intron of RTL9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2883091

What is rs2883091?

rs2883091 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RTL9 gene. Published research associates it with hypogonadism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2883091 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 rs2883091 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40316537. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
