Arm fat mass

LINC01252 · rs117686994

What the study found

Who was studied 2,294 White British ancestry female individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 662 g higher; p = 1 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.2 — inside LINC01252.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs117686994

What is rs117686994?

rs117686994 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01252 gene. Published research associates it with arm fat mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117686994 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 rs117686994 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers in endocrinology 2021, PMID:34239500. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
