Who was studied 806,834 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0247 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.033); p = 1 × 10−9.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 94% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.1 — in an intron of SOX5.
What each result means
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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 rs11608710
What is rs11608710?
rs11608710 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SOX5 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 rs11608710 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Childhood Body Mass Index, Obesity and Body Weight, Waist-to-Hip Ratio (Body Fat Distribution). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs11608710 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 rs11608710 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:30239722. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
