What the study found

Who was studied 1,138 European ancestry cases, 1,120 European ancestry normal or lean controls; replicated in 1,181 European ancestry cases, 1,960 European ancestry normal or lean controls, 981 European ancestry cases and 1,430 European ancestry controls from 715 families.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.18 times the odds of Obesity (early onset extreme) (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.35); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — inside LOC124902056.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Obesity (early onset extreme). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Obesity (early onset extreme). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Obesity (early onset extreme). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17150703

What is rs17150703?

rs17150703 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MSRA gene. Published research associates it with obesity (early onset extreme). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17150703 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 rs17150703 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 rs17150703 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2010, PMID:20421936. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
