Where this position leads

Condition: Total Body Bone Mineral Density

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Total body bone mineral density — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Total body bone mineral density.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Total body bone mineral density compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12800049

What is rs12800049?

rs12800049 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SOX6 gene. Published research associates it with total body bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12800049 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Total Body Bone Mineral Density. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs12800049 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 rs12800049 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2018, PMID:29304378. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
