RPAIN · rs8070740

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. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26414677)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Menopause (age at onset). (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26414677)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Menopause (age at onset) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26414677)

Questions about rs8070740

What is rs8070740?

rs8070740 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RPAIN 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.

Does having rs8070740 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 rs8070740 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.
