Who was studied 53,711 European ancestry female cases, 380,441 European ancestry female controls, 14,905 East Asian ancestry female cases, 69,609 East Asian ancestry female controls, 14,905 Central Asian ancestry female cases, 69,609 Central Asian ancestry female controls, 14,905 South Asian ancestry female cases, 69,609 South Asian ancestry female controls, 5,678 African ancestry female cases, 15,760 African ancestry female controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0483 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.061); p = 4 × 10−13.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.33 — in an intron of TERT.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Uterine fibroids. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Uterine fibroids. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs56345976
What is rs56345976?
rs56345976 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TERT 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 rs56345976 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 rs56345976 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 rs56345976 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40050615. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
