Appendicular lean mass

near MPDZ · rs62532649

What the study found

Who was studied 181,862 European ancestry elderly individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0957 lower (95% confidence interval 0.068-0.123); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p23 — between genes, 7 kb from MPDZ.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62532649

What is rs62532649?

rs62532649 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MPDZ gene. Published research associates it with appendicular lean mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62532649 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 rs62532649 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2019, PMID:31761296. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
