What the study found

Who was studied 53,711 European ancestry female cases, 380,441 European ancestry female controls, 14,905 East Asian ancestry female cases, 69,609 East Asian ancestry female controls, 14,905 Central Asian ancestry female cases, 69,609 Central Asian ancestry female controls, 14,905 South Asian ancestry female cases, 69,609 South Asian ancestry female controls, 5,678 African ancestry female cases, 15,760 African ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0586 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.077); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q13.31 — in an intron of ZBTB20.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Uterine fibroids — 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 Uterine fibroids.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Uterine fibroids compared to the general population.

Questions about rs73228400

What is rs73228400?

rs73228400 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZBTB20 gene. Published research associates it with uterine fibroids. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73228400 linked to?

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

Does having rs73228400 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 rs73228400 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40050615. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
