Appendicular lean mass

ZFAT · rs112892337

What the study found

Who was studied 450,243 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.141 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.17); p = 1 × 10−23.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.22 — a missense change in ZFAT.

What ClinVar records

Classification Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity; criteria provided, conflicting classifications (1 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2022-11-01. ClinVar record 403619 NM_020863.4(ZFAT):c.1409C>G (p.Ser470Cys)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Appendicular lean mass compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Appendicular lean mass.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Appendicular lean mass — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs112892337

What is rs112892337?

rs112892337 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFAT gene. Published research associates it with appendicular lean mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs112892337 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 rs112892337 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Commun Biol 2020, PMID:33097823. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
