Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 65,405 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0543 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.065); p = 2 × 10⁻²².

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p12.2 — between genes, 126 kb from RPS11P1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Placental weight (fetal genotype, adjusted for sex and gestational age). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Placental weight (fetal genotype, adjusted for sex and gestational age). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Placental weight (fetal genotype, adjusted for sex and gestational age). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6040436

What is rs6040436?

rs6040436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPS11P1 gene. Published research associates it with placental weight (fetal genotype, adjusted for sex and gestational age). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6040436 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 rs6040436 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37798380. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
