What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Menopause (age at onset) compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Menopause (age at onset).

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Menopause (age at onset) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6899676

What is rs6899676?

rs6899676 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SYCP2L gene. Published research associates it with menopause (age at onset). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6899676 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age at Menopause. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6899676 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 rs6899676 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26414677. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
