Condition: Hand Grip Strength
What the study found
Who was studied 334,825 British ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.002 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0014-0.0026); p = 2 × 10−8.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q11.2 — in an intron of RMC1.
rs303760 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C18orf8 gene. Published research associates it with hand grip strength. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Hand Grip Strength. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
