Appendicular lean mass

XKR6 · rs7000772

What the study found

Who was studied 181,862 European ancestry elderly individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0472 lower (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.061); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — in an intron of XKR6.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Appendicular lean mass. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Appendicular lean mass. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs7000772

What is rs7000772?

rs7000772 is a single position in the genome, in or near the XKR6 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 rs7000772 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 rs7000772 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.
