Bone marrow fat fraction of lumbar vertebra 4

near TSEN2 · rs79260952

What the study found

Who was studied 39,121 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0577 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.076); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.2 — between genes, 13.9 kb from TSEN2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Bone marrow fat fraction of lumbar vertebra 4. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Bone marrow fat fraction of lumbar vertebra 4. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Bone marrow fat fraction of lumbar vertebra 4. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs79260952

What is rs79260952?

rs79260952 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TSEN2 gene. Published research associates it with bone marrow fat fraction of lumbar vertebra 4. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79260952 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 rs79260952 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40796918. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
