Estimated bone mineral density

near NPM1P36 · rs2745744

What the study found

Who was studied 448,010 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.01 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0061-0.0139); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p12.1 — between genes, 35.6 kb from NPM1P36.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2745744

What is rs2745744?

rs2745744 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NPM1P36 gene. Published research associates it with estimated bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2745744 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 rs2745744 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42432248. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
