What the study found

Who was studied 2,462 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 117,887 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 19,795 European ancestry cases, 422,914 European ancestry controls, 1,558 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 57,551 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0988 higher (95% confidence interval 0.075-0.123); p = 3 × 10−18.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 70% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.31 — in an intron of FAM3C.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Osteoporosis NOS (PheCode 743.11). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Osteoporosis NOS (PheCode 743.11). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Osteoporosis NOS (PheCode 743.11). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs56364616

What is rs56364616?

rs56364616 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM3C gene. Published research associates it with osteoporosis nos (phecode 743.11). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs56364616 linked to?

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

Does having rs56364616 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 rs56364616 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
