What the study found

Who was studied 44,871 European ancestry women.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 7 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — between genes, 34 kb from RNU6-778P.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Length of menstrual cycle. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Length of menstrual cycle. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Length of menstrual cycle. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6670899

What is rs6670899?

rs6670899 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NR5A2 gene. Published research associates it with length of menstrual cycle. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6670899 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 rs6670899 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2018, PMID:30202859. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
