Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−7, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
How this is scored
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 42,752 African ancestry individuals, 55,525 African American individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0627 higher (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.085); p = 4 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q13 — in an intron of KCNQ5.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo 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 rs113572243
What is rs113572243?
rs113572243 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNQ5 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 rs113572243 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Obesity and Body Weight, Childhood Body Mass Index. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs113572243 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 rs113572243 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36581621. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
