What the study found

Who was studied 37,589 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.19 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.25); p = 6 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.2 — in an intron of MIR4713HG.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Thigh bone marrow fat fraction — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Thigh bone marrow fat fraction.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Thigh bone marrow fat fraction compared to the general population.

Questions about rs146939415

What is rs146939415?

rs146939415 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CYP19A1 gene. Published research associates it with thigh bone marrow fat fraction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs146939415 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Osteoarthritis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs146939415 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 rs146939415 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of obesity 2025, PMID:40922984. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
