Skeletal muscle index

NEB · rs138684936

What the study found

Who was studied 2,046 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.217 higher (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.29); p = 9 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q23.3 — in an intron of NEB.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Skeletal muscle index compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Skeletal muscle index.
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Skeletal muscle index — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs138684936

What is rs138684936?

rs138684936 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEB gene. Published research associates it with skeletal muscle index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs138684936 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 rs138684936 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Sci Rep 2021, PMID:33674626. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
