Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 10,217 European ancestry individuals, 5,717 individuals.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.12 higher (95% confidence interval 0.091-0.149); p = 3 × 10−14.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.13 — between genes, 41.1 kb from LINC02279.
rs1243579 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GSC gene. Published research associates it with hip shape (dxa scan). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
