Body mass index or knee osteoarthritis (pleiotropy)

near MAFB · rs6029202

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 806,834 European ancestry BMI individuals, 62,497 European ancestry knee osteoarthritis cases, 333,557 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10⁻¹¹.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q12 — between genes, 82.2 kb from MAFB.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Body mass index or knee osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). 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 Body mass index or knee osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index or knee osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6029202

What is rs6029202?

rs6029202 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MAFB gene. Published research associates it with body mass index or knee osteoarthritis (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6029202 linked to?

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

Does having rs6029202 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 rs6029202 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Osteoarthritis and cartilage 2023, PMID:36889626. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
