Pardon my ignorance - what does it mean to have SNP rs1983891 (what pops up when I search FOXP4 in my Promethease report) but not rs9367106? I have only rs1983891(C;C).

Probably no relevance to the topic at hand. This research applies only to the documented SNP.

Unrelated, you may have some increased risk for prostate cancer: https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs1983891

You're probably right. Look at figure 3 in the paper. The effect is for region upstream of FOXP4. The reported Prometheus snp ( rs1983891 ) is not in this region, it is in an intron in FOXP4.

Interesting. Glad I don't have a prostate then! :)
