Age at natural menopause

FIRRM · rs41272475

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 201,323 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 294,828 individuals, up to 78,317 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.612 higher (95% confidence interval 0.47-0.75); p = 9 × 10⁻¹⁸.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q24.2 — a missense change in FIRRM.

What ClinVar records

Classification Likely benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-08-15. ClinVar record 788718 NM_000450.2(SELE):c.887A>C (p.Lys296Thr)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Age at natural menopause. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Age at natural menopause. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Age at natural menopause. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs41272475

What is rs41272475?

rs41272475 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FIRRM 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 rs41272475 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 rs41272475 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.
