Mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur

GOSR2 · rs3785889

What the study found

Who was studied 38,522 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0433 lower (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.057); p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — in an intron of GOSR2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3785889

What is rs3785889?

rs3785889 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GOSR2 gene. Published research associates it with mean bone marrow fat fraction of left and right proximal femur. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3785889 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 rs3785889 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40796918. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
