What the study found

Who was studied 650,000 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0189 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.023); p = 5 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 79% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — in an intron of RAB27B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11152029

What is rs11152029?

rs11152029 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAB27B gene. Published research associates it with body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11152029 linked to?

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

Does having rs11152029 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 rs11152029 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39375568. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
