Pediatric areal bone mineral density (radius)

CPED1 · rs6963115

What the study found

Who was studied 488 European ancestry female children, 445 European ancestry male children; replicated in 245 European ancestry female children, 241 European ancestry male children.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.26 higher (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.33); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.31 — in an intron of CPED1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Pediatric areal bone mineral density (radius). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Pediatric areal bone mineral density (radius). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Pediatric areal bone mineral density (radius). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6963115

What is rs6963115?

rs6963115 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CPED1 gene. Published research associates it with pediatric areal bone mineral density (radius). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6963115 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 rs6963115 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research 2017, PMID:28181694. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
