Appendicular lean mass

SCMH1 · rs143365597

What the study found

Who was studied 450,243 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.141 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.17); p = 6 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.2 — a missense change in SCMH1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs143365597

What is rs143365597?

rs143365597 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCMH1 gene. Published research associates it with appendicular lean mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs143365597 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 rs143365597 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Commun Biol 2020, PMID:33097823. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
