Leptin receptor levels

LEPR · rs12082739

What the study found

Who was studied 2,935 Qatari ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.2 lower (95% confidence interval 0.93-1.47); p = 4 × 10−18.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.3 — in an intron of LEPR.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Leptin receptor levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Leptin receptor levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Leptin receptor levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12082739

What is rs12082739?

rs12082739 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LEPR gene. Published research associates it with leptin receptor levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12082739 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 rs12082739 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2023, PMID:36168886. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
