Gynoid lean mass

near CMTM8 · rs145972737

What the study found

Who was studied 2,109 White British ancestry male individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 910 g higher; p = 5 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p22.3 — between genes, 16.3 kb from CMTM8.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Gynoid lean mass. 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 Gynoid lean mass. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Gynoid lean mass. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs145972737

What is rs145972737?

rs145972737 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CMTM8 gene. Published research associates it with gynoid 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 rs145972737 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 rs145972737 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers in endocrinology 2021, PMID:34239500. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
