What the study found

Who was studied 426,824 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0492 lower (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.063); p = 9 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.3 — in an intron of ERC2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73091252

What is rs73091252?

rs73091252 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ERC2 gene. Published research associates it with heel bone mineral density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73091252 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Heel Bone Mineral Density. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs73091252 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 rs73091252 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30598549. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
