A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Body mass index (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction) compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Body mass index (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction).
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Body mass index (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs205262
What is rs205262?
rs205262 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C6orf106 gene. Published research associates it with body mass index (joint analysis main effects and smoking interaction). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs205262 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Waist Circumference. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs205262 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 rs205262 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28443625. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
