What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00975 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0072-0.0123); p = 8 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q11.2 — in an intron of SLC6A4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Leg fat percentage right (UKB data field 23111). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Leg fat percentage right (UKB data field 23111). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Leg fat percentage right (UKB data field 23111). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11872020

What is rs11872020?

rs11872020 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC6A4 gene. Published research associates it with leg fat percentage right (ukb data field 23111). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11872020 linked to?

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

Does having rs11872020 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 rs11872020 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
