BCKDHB · rs9341808

What the study found

Who was studied 29,059 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 14,932 European ancestry individuals, 6,345 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.054 higher (95% confidence interval 0.042-0.067); p = 1 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q14.1 — in an intron of BCKDHB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9341808

What is rs9341808?

rs9341808 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCKDHB gene. Published research associates it with spine bone size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9341808 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 rs9341808 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31053729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
