What the study found

Who was studied 1,834 European ancestry children, 825 children; replicated in 11,052 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.081 lower; p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.31 — in an intron of LOC124901735.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4609139

What is rs4609139?

rs4609139 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C7orf58 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs4609139 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Heel Bone Mineral Density. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs4609139?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include bones and fractures (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs4609139 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 rs4609139 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2012, PMID:22792070. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
