Thigh slabs internal fat to muscle ratio

PEPD · rs33823

What the study found

Who was studied 37,589 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.06 higher (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.08); p = 5 × 10−19.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 64% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.11 — in an intron of PEPD.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Thigh slabs internal fat to muscle ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Thigh slabs internal fat to muscle ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Thigh slabs internal fat to muscle ratio. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs33823

What is rs33823?

rs33823 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PEPD gene. Published research associates it with thigh slabs internal fat to muscle ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs33823 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 rs33823 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of obesity 2025, PMID:40922984. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
