ADCY3 · rs11676272

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Int J Epidemiol 2015, PMID:25953783)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index. (GWAS Catalog, Int J Epidemiol 2015, PMID:25953783)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Int J Epidemiol 2015, PMID:25953783)

Questions about rs11676272

What is rs11676272?

rs11676272 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADCY3 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.

Does having rs11676272 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 rs11676272 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Int J Epidemiol 2015, PMID:25953783. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
