ICD10 O42: Premature rupture of membranes

SLC4A8 · rs4237901

What the study found

Who was studied 13,342 European ancestry cases, 261,265 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.91 times the odds of ICD10 O42: Premature rupture of membranes (95% confidence interval 0.89-0.94); p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.13 — in an intron of SLC4A8.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to ICD10 O42: Premature rupture of membranes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to ICD10 O42: Premature rupture of membranes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to ICD10 O42: Premature rupture of membranes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4237901

What is rs4237901?

rs4237901 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC4A8 gene. Published research associates it with icd10 o42: premature rupture of membranes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4237901 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 rs4237901 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2025, PMID:40069456. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
