Appendicular lean mass

TNRC6B · rs28722029

What the study found

Who was studied 181,862 European ancestry elderly individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0443 lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.059); p = 2 × 10−9.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.1 — in an intron of TNRC6B.

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 rs28722029

What is rs28722029?

rs28722029 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNRC6B 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 rs28722029 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 rs28722029 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.
