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 (SNP x SNP interaction) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22344221)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index (SNP x SNP interaction). (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22344221)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index (SNP x SNP interaction) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22344221)

Questions about rs12149832

What is rs12149832?

rs12149832 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FTO gene. Published research associates it with body mass index (snp x snp interaction). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs12149832?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include kidneys (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs12149832 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 rs12149832 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22344221. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
