Uterine leiomyomata

near UGT2A1 · rs4694227

What the study found

Who was studied 38,466 European ancestry cases, 329,437 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Uterine leiomyomata (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.09); p = 4 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.3 — between genes, 5.7 kb from UGT2A1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4694227

What is rs4694227?

rs4694227 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near UGT2A1 gene. Published research associates it with uterine leiomyomata. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4694227 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 rs4694227 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:36726022. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
