near THORLNC · rs6723391

What the study found

Who was studied 32,911 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 7.6 z score higher; p = 3 × 10−14.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q14.2 — between genes, 204.7 kb from THORLNC.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Anterior thigh muscle fat infiltration percentage. 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 Anterior thigh muscle fat infiltration percentage. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Anterior thigh muscle fat infiltration percentage. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6723391

What is rs6723391?

rs6723391 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near THORLNC gene. Published research associates it with anterior thigh muscle fat infiltration percentage. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6723391 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 rs6723391 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2022, PMID:36402844. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
