Where this position leads
What the study found
Who was studied 17,054 endometriosis cases, 170,756 European ancestry depression cases, 191,858 controls, 329,443 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0271 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.036); p = 3 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — in an intron of USP4.
rs6778080 is a single position in the genome, in or near the USP4 gene. Published research associates it with endometriosis or depression (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Endometriosis and Depression: Shared Genetics. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
