Bone marrow fat fraction of thoracic vertebra 9

CTIF · rs9950937

What the study found

Who was studied 38,937 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.102 higher (95% confidence interval 0.074-0.131); p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CTIF.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Bone marrow fat fraction of thoracic vertebra 9. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Bone marrow fat fraction of thoracic vertebra 9. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Bone marrow fat fraction of thoracic vertebra 9. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9950937

What is rs9950937?

rs9950937 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTIF gene. Published research associates it with bone marrow fat fraction of thoracic vertebra 9. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9950937 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 rs9950937 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.
