What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Femoral neck bone mineral density and trunk fat mass adjusted by trunk lean mass. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Femoral neck bone mineral density and trunk fat mass adjusted by trunk lean mass. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Femoral neck bone mineral density and trunk fat mass adjusted by trunk lean mass. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs78202598

What is rs78202598?

rs78202598 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MC2R gene. Published research associates it with femoral neck bone mineral density and trunk fat mass adjusted by trunk lean mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs78202598 linked to?

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

Does having rs78202598 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 rs78202598 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human genetics 2020, PMID:32239398. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
