Leptin levels in overweight individuals

near SEPTIN14P21 · rs12405634

What the study found

Who was studied 2,163 Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,263 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.311 lower (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.4); p = 8 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q43 — between genes, 108.1 kb from SEPTIN14P21.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12405634

What is rs12405634?

rs12405634 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SEPTIN14P21 gene. Published research associates it with leptin levels in overweight individuals. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12405634 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 rs12405634 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2021, PMID:34620218. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
