Female infertility (all causes)

PKHD1L1 · rs9643050

What the study found

Who was studied 42,629 European, South Asian, African American or Afro-Caribbean and other admixed ancestry female cases, 740,619 European, South Asian, African American or Afro-Caribbean and other admixed ancestry female cases female controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.13 times the odds of Female infertility (all causes) (95% confidence interval 1.1-1.16); p = 4 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q23.1 — in an intron of PKHD1L1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Female infertility (all causes). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Female infertility (all causes). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Female infertility (all causes). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9643050

What is rs9643050?

rs9643050 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PKHD1L1 gene. Published research associates it with female infertility (all causes). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9643050 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 rs9643050 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40229599. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
