Obesity (extreme)

NEGR1 · rs11209947

What the study found

Who was studied 1,456 British ancestry obese children, 6,460 European ancestry control adults; replicated in up to 7,526 British ancestry obese individuals, at least 4,405 obese individuals, up to 20,720 British ancestry controls, 61,166 controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.17 times the odds of Obesity (extreme) (95% confidence interval 1.13-1.21); p = 5 × 10−20.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — in an intron of LINC02796.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11209947

What is rs11209947?

rs11209947 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEGR1 gene. Published research associates it with obesity (extreme). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11209947 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 rs11209947 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2019, PMID:30677029. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
