NR4A2 · rs4369815

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied Up to 182,413 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.06 higher (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.08); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.1 — inside LINC01876.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Menarche (age at onset). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Menarche (age at onset). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Menarche (age at onset). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4369815

What is rs4369815?

rs4369815 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NR4A2 gene. Published research associates it with menarche (age at onset). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4369815 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age at Menarche. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4369815 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 rs4369815 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2014, PMID:25231870. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
