Whole body fat free mass (UKB data field 23101)

near NPM1P47 · rs4143843

What the study found

Who was studied 337,739 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00961 lower (95% confidence interval 0.007-0.0122); p = 4 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.2 — between genes, 1.5 kb from NPM1P47.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Whole body fat free mass (UKB data field 23101). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Whole body fat free mass (UKB data field 23101). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Whole body fat free mass (UKB data field 23101). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4143843

What is rs4143843?

rs4143843 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NPM1P47 gene. Published research associates it with whole body fat free mass (ukb data field 23101). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4143843 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 rs4143843 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2024, PMID:38538606. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
