Appendicular lean mass

IRS1 · rs41265094

What the study found

Who was studied 450,243 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0629 lower (95% confidence interval 0.049-0.077); p = 1 × 10−17.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q36.3 — a missense change in IRS1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign for Type 2 diabetes mellitus; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 6 submitters), last evaluated 2023-04-01. ClinVar record 402985 NM_005544.3(IRS1):c.2452G>C (p.Gly818Arg)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Appendicular lean mass compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Appendicular lean mass.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Appendicular lean mass — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs41265094

What is rs41265094?

rs41265094 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRS1 gene. Published research associates it with appendicular lean mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs41265094 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 rs41265094 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Commun Biol 2020, PMID:33097823. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
