Appendicular lean mass

TPSAB1 · rs2092389

What the study found

Who was studied 450,243 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.019 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.024); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — between genes, 2.1 kb from TPSAB1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2092389

What is rs2092389?

rs2092389 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TPSAB1 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 rs2092389 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 rs2092389 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2020, PMID:33097823. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
