Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.

What the study found

Who was studied 93,015 European ancestry overweight individuals, 32,858 European ancestry class I obese individuals, 9,889 European ancestry class II obese individuals, 2,896 European ancestry class III obese individuals, up to 65,840 European ancestry controls; replicated in 65,332 European ancestry overweight individuals, 22,373 European ancestry class I obese individuals, 5,476 European ancestry class II obese individuals, 1,162 European ancestry class III obese individuals, up to 39,294 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.12 times the odds of Obesity; p = 3 × 10−34.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p12 — between genes, 142.7 kb from THAP12P9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10938397

What is rs10938397?

rs10938397 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNPDA2 gene. Published research associates it with obesity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10938397 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs10938397?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (13 papers), exercise and muscle (2 papers), risk-taking and impulsivity (1 papers), adhd and attention (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs10938397 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 rs10938397 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23563607. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
