Skin reflectance

PPARGC1B · rs17110447

What the study found

Who was studied 27,254 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.004 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0028-0.0052); p = 4 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 70% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q32 — in an intron of PPARGC1B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17110447

What is rs17110447?

rs17110447 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPARGC1B gene. Published research associates it with skin reflectance. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17110447 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 rs17110447 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC genomics 2022, PMID:36536295. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
