DXA-Bone mineral density (head) (UKB data field 23226)

near CEP120 · rs139315943

What the study found

Who was studied 31,986 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0624 lower (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.082); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.2 — between genes, 11.1 kb from CEP120.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to DXA-Bone mineral density (head) (UKB data field 23226). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to DXA-Bone mineral density (head) (UKB data field 23226). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to DXA-Bone mineral density (head) (UKB data field 23226). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs139315943

What is rs139315943?

rs139315943 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CEP120 gene. Published research associates it with dxa-bone mineral density (head) (ukb data field 23226). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs139315943 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 rs139315943 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genomics, proteomics & bioinformatics 2025, PMID:41206123. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
