Questions about rs1460678

What is rs1460678?

rs1460678 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FIGN 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 rs1460678 linked to?

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

Does having rs1460678 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 rs1460678 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2015, PMID:26426971. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
