Femoral neck size

HHIP · rs12507427

What the study found

Who was studied 28,954 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 9,383 European ancestry individuals, 6,351 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.054 higher (95% confidence interval 0.007-0.036); p = 8 × 10−14.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.21 — in the 5′ untranslated region of HHIP.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12507427

What is rs12507427?

rs12507427 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HHIP gene. Published research associates it with femoral neck size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12507427 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 rs12507427 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31053729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
