What each result means

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

Questions about rs12409479

What is rs12409479?

rs12409479 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTBP2 gene. Published research associates it with trunk fat mass adjusted for trunk 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 rs12409479 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 rs12409479 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human genetics 2020, PMID:32239398. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
