Appendicular lean mass

near HEYL · rs17343290

What the study found

Who was studied 181,862 European ancestry elderly individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0585 higher (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.076); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.2 — between genes, 1.1 kb from HEYL.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17343290

What is rs17343290?

rs17343290 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HEYL gene. Published research associates it with appendicular lean mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17343290 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 rs17343290 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2019, PMID:31761296. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
