What the study found

Who was studied 16,595 European ancestry cases, 523,330 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 2.79 times the odds of Uterine fibroids (95% confidence interval 2.13-3.66); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p11 — between genes, 16 kb from RNU6-158P.

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 rs760402913

What is rs760402913?

rs760402913 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CWH43 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 rs760402913 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 rs760402913 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 rs760402913 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30194396. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
