Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied up to 449,889 European ancestry individuals, up to 29,398 South Asian ancestry individuals, up to 27,610 African American individuals, up to 8,839 East Asian individuals, up to 10,772 Hispanic ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 196,766 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.014 higher (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.018); p = 5 × 10⁻¹⁴.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p11.2 — a missense change in HSD17B12.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/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 rs11555762

What is rs11555762?

rs11555762 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HSD17B12 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 rs11555762 linked to?

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

Does having rs11555762 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 rs11555762 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29273807. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
