DXA-Bone mineral density (femur total) (UKB data field 23291)

near PKDCC · rs6719975

What the study found

Who was studied 31,873 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.06 higher (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.079); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — between genes, 3.5 kb from PKDCC.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to DXA-Bone mineral density (femur total) (UKB data field 23291). 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 DXA-Bone mineral density (femur total) (UKB data field 23291). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to DXA-Bone mineral density (femur total) (UKB data field 23291). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6719975

What is rs6719975?

rs6719975 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PKDCC gene. Published research associates it with dxa-bone mineral density (femur total) (ukb data field 23291). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6719975 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 rs6719975 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genomics, proteomics & bioinformatics 2025, PMID:41206123. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
