ARL14EP · rs1222216

What the study found

Who was studied 453,169 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0122 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0089-0.0154); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 77% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p14.1 — in an intron of ARL14EP.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1222216

What is rs1222216?

rs1222216 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARL14EP gene. Published research associates it with adult body size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1222216 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 rs1222216 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMJ (Clinical research ed.) 2020, PMID:32376654. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
