Femoral neck width

LINC00511 · rs17779649

What the study found

Who was studied 38,150 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0836 higher (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.104); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — in an intron of LINC00511.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Femoral neck width. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Femoral neck width. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Femoral neck width. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17779649

What is rs17779649?

rs17779649 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00511 gene. Published research associates it with femoral neck width. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17779649 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 rs17779649 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research 2024, PMID:38477772. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
