EBLN1 · rs12257323

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Subcutaneous adipose tissue — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Int J Obes (Lond) 2015, PMID:26480920)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Subcutaneous adipose tissue. (GWAS Catalog, Int J Obes (Lond) 2015, PMID:26480920)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Subcutaneous adipose tissue compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Int J Obes (Lond) 2015, PMID:26480920)

Questions about rs12257323

What is rs12257323?

rs12257323 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EBLN1 gene. Published research associates it with subcutaneous adipose tissue. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12257323 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 rs12257323 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Int J Obes (Lond) 2015, PMID:26480920. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
