What the study found

Who was studied 48,596 European ancestry cases, 207,927 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0544 higher (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.071); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.3 — inside C12orf60.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Low hand grip strength (60 years and older) (EWGSOP). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Low hand grip strength (60 years and older) (EWGSOP). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Low hand grip strength (60 years and older) (EWGSOP). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs34464763

What is rs34464763?

rs34464763 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C12orf60 gene. Published research associates it with low hand grip strength (60 years and older) (ewgsop). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs34464763 linked to?

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.

Does having rs34464763 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 rs34464763 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33510174. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
