Skull bone mineral density

near DDX23 · rs143348825

What the study found

Who was studied 38,435 European ancestry individuals, 5,397 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.392 higher; p = 4 × 10−19.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.12 — between genes, 1.7 kb from DDX23.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Skull bone mineral density. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Skull bone mineral density. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Skull bone mineral density. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs143348825

What is rs143348825?

rs143348825 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DDX23 gene. Published research associates it with skull bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs143348825 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 rs143348825 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2023, PMID:37402774. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
