Posterior thigh muscle volume

near CSHL1 · rs2854152

What the study found

Who was studied 33,022 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.97 z score lower; p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q23.3 — between genes, 0.9 kb from CSHL1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2854152

What is rs2854152?

rs2854152 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CSHL1 gene. Published research associates it with posterior thigh muscle volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2854152 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 rs2854152 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2022, PMID:36402844. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
