What the study found

Who was studied 360,116 European ancestry individuals, 165,419 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0222 lower (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.029); p = 3 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q23 — between genes, 1.3 kb from GALR1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs147143810

What is rs147143810?

rs147143810 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GALR1 gene. Published research associates it with weight. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs147143810 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 rs147143810 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 rs147143810 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
