Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 453,169 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.044 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.053); p = 4 × 10⁻²².

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.32 — between genes, 29.3 kb from MRPS5P4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Body size at age 10. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Body size at age 10. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Body size at age 10. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs113728099

What is rs113728099?

rs113728099 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MC4R gene. Published research associates it with body size at age 10. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs113728099 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 rs113728099 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMJ (Clinical research ed.) 2020, PMID:32376654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
