A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Total body bone mineral density (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Total body bone mineral density (MTAG).
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Total body bone mineral density (MTAG) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs13055979
What is rs13055979?
rs13055979 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RSPH14 gene. Published research associates it with total body bone mineral density (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs13055979 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Heel Bone Mineral Density. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs13055979 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 rs13055979 come from?
GWAS Catalog, J Bone Miner Res 2019, PMID:30690781. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
