near EVX1 · rs117210562

What the study found

Who was studied 38,522 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.132 higher (95% confidence interval 0.089-0.176); p = 3 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.2 — between genes, 20.6 kb from RPL35P4.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs117210562

What is rs117210562?

rs117210562 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EVX1 gene. Published research associates it with mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117210562 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 rs117210562 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40796918. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
