Who was studied 426,824 British ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0154 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.019); p = 7 × 10−16.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p12.3 — in an intron of CASC20.
What each result means
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Heel bone mineral density. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Heel bone mineral density. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Heel bone mineral density. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6117294
What is rs6117294?
rs6117294 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASC20 gene. Published research associates it with heel 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 rs6117294 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.
Does having rs6117294 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 rs6117294 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30598549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
