What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28743860)
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head). (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28743860)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28743860)

Questions about rs6726821

What is rs6726821?

rs6726821 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GALNT3 gene. Published research associates it with bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs6726821?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include bones and fractures (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs6726821 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 rs6726821 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28743860. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
