Who was studied 217,530 European ancestry individuals (MTAG effective sample size boosted by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis samples).
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.017 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.023); p = 3 × 10−9.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 66% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.2 — between genes, 33.1 kb from RPL5P16.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Endometriosis (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Endometriosis (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Endometriosis (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4703918
What is rs4703918?
rs4703918 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL5P16 gene. Published research associates it with endometriosis (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs4703918 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Endometriosis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs4703918 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 rs4703918 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Human reproduction (Oxford, England) 2025, PMID:40262193. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
