What the study found

Who was studied up to 309,889 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0277 higher (95% confidence interval -); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q12.2 — in an intron of MTIF3.

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 rs12016871

What is rs12016871?

rs12016871 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MTIF3 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 rs12016871 linked to?

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

Does having rs12016871 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 rs12016871 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2015, PMID:26426971. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
