Paraspinal proton density fat fraction

NRG1 · rs1481758

What the study found

Who was studied 37,589 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.05 higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.07); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p12 — in an intron of NRG1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Paraspinal proton density fat fraction. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Paraspinal proton density fat fraction. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Paraspinal proton density fat fraction. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1481758

What is rs1481758?

rs1481758 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NRG1 gene. Published research associates it with paraspinal proton density fat fraction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1481758 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 rs1481758 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.
