Male puberty timing (age at voice breaking MTAG)

JADE2 · rs62379978

What the study found

Who was studied 205,354 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0363 years higher (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.045); p = 7 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of JADE2.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Male puberty timing (age at voice breaking MTAG). 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 Male puberty timing (age at voice breaking MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Male puberty timing (age at voice breaking MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62379978

What is rs62379978?

rs62379978 is a single position in the genome, in or near the JADE2 gene. Published research associates it with male puberty timing (age at voice breaking mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62379978 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 rs62379978 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32210231. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
