Intertrochanteric region size

SOX9 · rs1159421

What the study found

Who was studied 28,936 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 7,912 European ancestry individuals, 5,696 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.065 lower (95% confidence interval 0.049-0.082); p = 5 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — in an intron of ROCR.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1159421

What is rs1159421?

rs1159421 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SOX9 gene. Published research associates it with intertrochanteric region size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1159421 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 rs1159421 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31053729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
