What the study found

Who was studied 11,095 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0607 lower (95% confidence interval 0.044-0.078); p = 7 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.2 — between genes, 27.1 kb from SAYSD1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to BMI at 6 months old. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to BMI at 6 months old. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to BMI at 6 months old. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1820721

What is rs1820721?

rs1820721 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SAYSD1 gene. Published research associates it with bmi at 6 months old. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1820721 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 rs1820721 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature metabolism 2022, PMID:35315439. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
