What the study found

Who was studied 441,761 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0414 lower (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.054); p = 3 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q15 — between genes, 18.3 kb from POLD2P1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs142503704

What is rs142503704?

rs142503704 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near POLD2P1 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs142503704 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Childhood Body Mass Index, Obesity and Body Weight. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs142503704 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 rs142503704 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetologia 2023, PMID:37280435. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
