Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied Up to 32,961 European and East Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in Up to 50,933 European and East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.04 lower; p = 2 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p14.1 — in an intron of DCDC1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Lumbar spine bone mineral density. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Lumbar spine bone mineral density. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Lumbar spine bone mineral density. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs163879

What is rs163879?

rs163879 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DCDC5 gene. Published research associates it with lumbar spine 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 rs163879 linked to?

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

Does having rs163879 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 rs163879 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2012, PMID:22504420. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
