What the study found

Who was studied 806,834 European ancestry BMI individuals, 28,372 European ancestry spine osteoarthritis cases, 305,578 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−28.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — between genes, 12.8 kb from ZCCHC8.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index or spine osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index or spine osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index or spine osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10846921

What is rs10846921?

rs10846921 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZCCHC8 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index or spine osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10846921 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Osteoarthritis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs10846921 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 rs10846921 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Osteoarthritis and cartilage 2023, PMID:36889626. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
