Who was studied 8,327 European ancestry individuals, 2,087 individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0769 lower; p = 3 × 10−8.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.3 — between genes, 26 kb from GALNT3.
What each result means
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs6726821
What is rs6726821?
rs6726821 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GALNT3 gene. Published research associates it with bone mineral density (paediatric, total body less head). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6726821 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Paediatric Bone Mineral Density. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
What do people read about alongside rs6726821?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include bones and fractures (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs6726821 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 rs6726821 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28743860. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
