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.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Endometriosis or depression (pleiotropy) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Endometriosis or depression (pleiotropy).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Endometriosis or depression (pleiotropy) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6778080

What is rs6778080?

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.

What conditions is rs6778080 linked to?

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.

Does having rs6778080 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 rs6778080 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2020, PMID:32959083. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
