Where this position leads

Condition: Total Body Bone Mineral Density

What the study found

Who was studied 56,284 European ancestry individuals, up to 1,333 African American individuals, up to 9,328 admixed individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.375 lower; p = 2 × 10⁻¹³.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q14.2 — between genes, 189.8 kb from LINC01956.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Total body 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 Total body bone mineral density. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Total body bone mineral density. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs148285156

What is rs148285156?

rs148285156 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01956 gene. Published research associates it with total body bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs148285156 linked to?

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

Does having rs148285156 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 rs148285156 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2018, PMID:29304378. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
