What the study found

Who was studied 441,288 European ancestry cases, 1,271,822 European ancestry controls, 10,408 East Asian ancestry cases, 128,633 East Asian ancestry controls, 25,698 African or African American cases, 34,718 African or African American controls, 2,422 South Asian ancestry cases, 18,894 South Asian ancestry controls, 8,128 Hispanic cases, 9,759 Hispanic controls, 2,031 Admixed ancestry cases, 8,268 Admixed ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.02 times the odds of Osteoarthritis (95% confidence interval 1.01351867724409-1.02631209309805); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.3 — in an intron of HSALR1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2018-07-09. ClinVar record 1260197 NM_001142864.4(PIEZO1):c.1557+83G>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs76354120

What is rs76354120?

rs76354120 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HSALR1 gene. Published research associates it with osteoarthritis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs76354120 linked to?

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

Does having rs76354120 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 rs76354120 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2025, PMID:40205036. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
