FAM53C · rs4835777

What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0136 higher (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.017); p = 3 × 10−20.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.2 — in an intron of FAM53C.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Whole body water mass (UKB data field 23102) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Whole body water mass (UKB data field 23102).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Whole body water mass (UKB data field 23102) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4835777

What is rs4835777?

rs4835777 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM53C gene. Published research associates it with whole body water mass (ukb data field 23102). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4835777 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 rs4835777 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
