What the study found

Who was studied 21,024 European ancestry cases, 237,694 European ancestry controls, 14,475 East Asian ancestry cases, 65,733 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.093 lower (95% confidence interval 0.071-0.115); p = 4 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq13.1 — in an intron of TEX11.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Uterine fibroids. 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 Uterine fibroids. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Uterine fibroids. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4844261

What is rs4844261?

rs4844261 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TEX11 gene. Published research associates it with uterine fibroids. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4844261 linked to?

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

Does having rs4844261 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 rs4844261 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
