A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Femoral neck bone mineral density compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Femoral neck bone mineral density.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Femoral neck bone mineral density — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs3779381 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WNT16 gene. Published research associates it with femoral neck bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs3779381 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Femoral Neck Bone Mineral Density. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs3779381 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 rs3779381 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Bone 2018, PMID:29499414. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
