Fracture of forearm

SEM1 · rs4389863

What the study found

Who was studied 50,471 European ancestry cases, 969,623 European ancestry controls; replicated in 49,555 cases, 620,360 controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Fracture of forearm (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.06); p = 1 × 10−19.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.3 — inside SEM1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Fracture of forearm. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Fracture of forearm. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Fracture of forearm. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4389863

What is rs4389863?

rs4389863 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SEM1 gene. Published research associates it with fracture of forearm. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4389863 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 rs4389863 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37919453. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
