Where this position leads

Condition: Childhood Body Mass Index

What the study found

Who was studied 34,744 European ancestry children; replicated in 11,313 European ancestry children.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.3 — in an intron of GNAT2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Childhood body mass index. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Childhood body mass index. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Childhood body mass index. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17024393

What is rs17024393?

rs17024393 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNAT2 gene. Published research associates it with childhood 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 rs17024393 linked to?

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

Does having rs17024393 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 rs17024393 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2015, PMID:26604143. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
