Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 165,419 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0161 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.021); p = 7 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q12 — in an intron of EYS.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Weight. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Weight. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1889096

What is rs1889096?

rs1889096 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EYS 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 rs1889096 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 rs1889096 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 rs1889096 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.
